Embodying Nonviolent Communication Find your voice ~ Speak your truth ~ Walk your talk

Over the course of the year, the main themes will be:

Learning Nonviolent Communication from the inside out
Somatic integration and working with trauma
Deepening and connective conversations with those we love, and across our divides.
Building commitments, collaboration, and community.
Our monthly sessions attune to the cycles of the seasons to shed light on the transitions and rhythms of learning, life, and love.

The uncertainty of these times requires courage, curiosity, skills and a willingness to face the challenge of healing our divides with a conscious intention. I am discovering and believe that the nurturing of community is the most powerful reclamation work we can do for forming ourselves well, where many races and diverse groups interact in meaningful relationships and where everyone is accepted and valued as an integral part of the world.

Somatic training develops the muscle sense of our collectiveness, quiets enemy images that we project and builds skills for living in the fullness of our collective needs.

The underlying principle of these programs is that to live fully in relationship, we must live more fully in our bodies. This requires us to quiet our mind and connect to our heart and instincts, letting them inform our actions and our words. By “coming to our senses,” through creative, deliberate, and inspired practice over time, we can access a discriminating centered wisdom as we face the unknowns of life. Synchronizing body, word and meaning is the key to walking our talk with power and compassion. Our body-wisdom holds keys to a treasure house of intuitive guidance and inspiring communication. Nonviolent Communication teaches us a brilliant language of the heart.  Somatic Consensus integrates our words with the language of the body. Living life fully begins with knowing deeply what you care about. This is the organizing principle and inspiration for embodying new skills. To move through lifetimes of embodied personal, familial and cultural patterned living, building new habits must capture your imagination. It must be fun. Each of our sessions engage physical, emotional, linguistic, intellectual and intuitive resources to build our capacity to manage mood and emotion, take skillful, decisive action and relate compassionately.
