Mind Works Workshop

🧠 Mind Works: Why We Miss What’s Right in Front of Us

Have you ever walked away from a conversation thinking…

“That’s not what I meant at all.”
“How did this turn into an argument?”
“Why do people hear things so differently?”

What if the issue isn’t the conversation itself… but the invisible filters we all see the world through?

Mind Works is an interactive workshop exploring how the brain filters information — and how those filters shape communication, reactions, assumptions, and relationships.

Karen Hicks and Karen Theimer will guide you through engaging demonstrations, discussions, and practical exercises exploring how beliefs, stress, past experiences, emotional state, and unconscious patterns influence the way we interpret the world around us.

You’ll discover:
• Why people experience the same conversation differently
• How assumptions shape communication
• Why stress changes perception
• How the brain deletes, distorts, and generalizes information
• Simple tools for clearer, calmer communication

This is not about blame.
It’s about awareness.

Once you understand how perception works… you start seeing conversations differently.

Perfect for anyone wanting greater self-awareness, better communication, and stronger everyday relationships.
