Mediate Your Life

John Kinyon, CNVC Certified Trainer and Ike Lasater, NVC Facilitator

Tuesdays, January 26, 2016- July 5, 2016
5:30 - 7:30pm Pacific (California) Time

There is creative, transformative power in how you communicate with yourself and with others. When you change the way you listen and speak, you change your life.

And when you change your life, the world changes.

Listen to Ike Lasater share about the Mediate Your Life Program



At its core, the Mediate Your Life program is about learning how to listen to — and really hear — yourself and others in a brand new way. It's about increasing your capacity for empathy and learning how to replace conflict with true collaboration, new possibilities, and compassionate support.


Built on the work of Nonviolent Communication (NVC) founder Marshall Rosenberg, the Mediate Your Life program uses innovative processes to mediate all aspects of difficult conversations, whether they are internal, interpersonal or within groups or societies. It provides you with a step-by-step, highly effective set of processes and exercises that rewire your brain to return to presence, and create connection between yourself and others. You'll find the format not only teaches these powerful skills, it also provides you the opportunity to practice them in a supportive learning community.

The end result?

You come away with an in-depth training in a new language, a brand new set of skills, and a new consciousness that culminates in a transformed way of living and being!

How is this course structured? The Mediate Your Life program is divided into three stand-alone courses that each focus on one particular area of communication and conflict resolution. They are:

You may sign up for the entire program, or simply the specific courses that call to you. Any one of them can give you the skills you need and change your life.

Are you tired of carrying around the burden of anguish and hurt? Give yourself the gift of peace. Share this peace with your families, with your communities, and shape the world you live in.

Choosing Peace: Responding to Conflict in Your Life

September 15 - October 20, 2015 (6 sessions)

Listen to John Kinyon share about
Choosing Peace: Responding to Conflict in Your Life:

Happiness, compassion, and the ability to change the world are learnable skills. Come learn them!

The Choosing Peace six-week telecourse integrates compassion, mindfulness, and clear communication in order to help you learn how to create and choose peace with yourself, with others, and with society at large.

Life is a series of conversations you have with your self and with others. Each has the power to transform. During this course, you'll not only acquire a new way to communicate, you'll also learn a new way to live.

Look around you.

The dominant paradigms and language used by many people lead directly to violence, suffering, and unhappiness. But when you change these paradigms by practicing a new language of empathy, compassion, and awareness, you create peace. You create internal and interpersonal peace, and you help co-create societal peace and wellbeing for all people.

When you understand and communicate your needs with clarity – and with empathy for the universality of those needs – conflict leads to connection. The illusion of separation from self and others fades.

Then, finally, you discover you are at home with the world.

Come join us, won't you?

Resolving Conflicts Internally

January 26 - March 1, 2016 (6 sessions)

A life changes one conversation at a time. When you change your life, the world changes. And the first conversation to have is with your self.

To be truly at ease with yourself and with those around you is transformative. The first step is to approach every conflict – whether internal or external – as an opportunity. During the six-week Resolving Conflicts Internally telecourse, you'll integrate compassion, mindfulness, and clear communication in ways that will help you learn to negotiate internal conflicts.

If you've ever experienced intrusive thoughts of guilt or shame, or found yourself judging or "beating yourself up," then you know that banishing these thoughts doesn't work.

What you'll learn during Resolving Conflicts Internally will.

The skills and processes that comprise this course are drawn from the worlds of professional dispute resolution, meditation and self-awareness, spiritual and wisdom traditions, and contemporary psychology and brain science.

The result is nothing less than in-depth training in a new language, a brand new set of skills, and a new consciousness!

Healing and Reconciliation

May 31 - July 5, 2016 (6 sessions)

Almost all of us travel with "baggage:" anger, emotional hurt, and pain from past conflicts. It's part of being human.

This course will help lighten your load.

What's the source of your anguish and hurt? Maybe you feel a longtime resentment towards another person – living or deceased. Maybe you're angry with yourself for a past decision or action, or perhaps you're experiencing guilt or shame about it. Or it may be that someone else perceives you as the cause of their pain…

In any case, relief is within reach.

Simply saying "Forgive and forget" doesn't make it happen. It takes work to make amends. That work begins within your self. Only after you've made peace with yourself can you move on to facilitate peace with others.

This course will give you the tools you need in order to facilitate re-connection with yourself or with another, and help you navigate the challenges of being in a group in which one or more conflicts spontaneously arise over a group decision.

About Ike Lasater and John Kinyon


Ike Lasater and John Kinyon have spent over a decade refining their unique approach, which unites conflict resolution, awareness practices and Nonviolent Communication (NVC). Their mission is to help people unleash their hidden potential by enabling them to re-wire their automatic responses to conflict.

During John and Ike's courses, you'll discover how to free yourself from those old reactive "fight-flight-freeze" patterns. And you'll learn how to clearly and simply sort out any kind of conflict — whether it's between others, between yourself and another, or something you are personally wrestling with inside.

Their method delivers predictable, dramatic results!
