More Compassion More Power

More Compassion More Power 

with Kathy Simon  October 25-30 Near Calistoga, CA  More Info!

More Compassion More PowerThe "More Compassion, More Power" intensive is a perfect way to immerse yourself in both the beauty of NVC community and the beauty of nature. The retreat welcomes both new and veteran NVC practitioners who want to deepen their own compassionate presence and at the same time increase their sense of power and agency.

 

Led by experienced facilitator, Kathy Simon, and her team of co-facilitators , the retreat promises to be creative, skillful and openhearted. In Kathy's words "I love sharing NVC. It's a gift to be with the people who show up for this kind of work, often having a beautiful vision of where they would like to be and of the shifts they would like to make in their lives.  I feel moved by the support NVC can offer us to understand patterns that we want to shift and to develop new skills for making those changes -- and at the same time, offering deep appreciation and acceptance of where we are right now."

THE FEARLESS HEART 

with Miki Kashtan

Power of Words

 "Truth, Care and Words"  

The Hebrew Bible tells us that "death and life come through the power of the tongue." My father, who was a (mostly) lay linguist, raised all three of his daughters to be in awe of the power of words to create effects. It's no wonder that I have dedicated my life to a methodology and a practice that put so much emphasis on choice of words to convey meaning and to create inner and outer transformation. Read Full Article
