The Transformational Power of Compassion
with Robert Gonzales January 14-16, 2012 Register!
"There is a basic life current or impulse resonating in and through us as a yearning of the heart, this current and yearning manifests as human needs."-Robert Gonzales
Robert hungered for practical ways to integrate the depth and richness of spirituality with the realities of daily life. After being introduced to Marshall Rosenberg 25 years ago, he realized that NVC provided the missing link that would bridge the spiritual and human aspects of his life. Through ongoing practice, he learned that the process of NVC naturally directs our attention to the inner space where the energy of compassion dwells, allowing us to take action that is centered in the heart.
As Robert's exploration of NVC and spirituality deepened over the years, clarity about ways to cultivate a daily practice of living compassion emerged. In this 3-day workshop he will share with you what he has learned about living compassion moment to moment. Read More!

Every Conflict is an Opportunity: NVC Mediation
We all have within us the impulse to fight/flight/freeze in the face of conflict. This is a natural and predictable part of what it means to be human. But there are reliable ways to return ourselves to a state of equilibrium and connection.
NVC Mediation's Immersion Program works to distill thousands of years of spiritual and scientific inquiry into the tools we need to respond effectively to conflict. Some call this method a much needed "manual for the human operating system."
Starting in January, NVC trainers John Kinyon, Newt Bailey, and Lisa Montana share an integral framework of "maps" for navigating difficult situations. These maps represent learnable skills, which can be used in any setting and on any scale. When practiced, they produce dramatic results.
 Learn more about the East Coast program and the West Coast program Talk directly to John Kinyon and Ike Lasater (co-founders of NVC Mediation). 45-minute Q&A conference calls: Wed., December 17 and Sat., January 7 at noon PST. Email connect@nvcmediation.com to RSVP. |
 If You Want To Be A Rebel, Be Kind by Nipun Mehta, Daily Good
The police had declared Monday, November 14th of 2011 as the day of the raid on the Occupy Oakland encampment. It was the first Occupy site to call for a general strike that shut down the fifth largest port in the country; it was also the first Occupy gathering to report a shooting and a murder, as police violence also reached new heights. With tensions mounting amidst political chaos, police escalated their violent crackdowns and the narrative of fear. Hundreds of thousands of dollars were spent in preparation for the raid, police from around the state were called in, and uncertainty filled the air. Read More. |
