robert gonzales 200x250In the Spotlight: Robert Gonzales

Robert Gonzales’ passion is in the spirituality of compassionate communication. He sees compassionate communication as a process that helps you connect more authentically with yourself and others, and as a spiritual practice and way of living.

Robert met Marshall Rosenberg in 1985, and has been been providing Nonviolent Communication training to community colleges, high schools, churches, social workers, psychologists, mediators, and others since 1986. A licensed psychologist and CNVC Certified Trainer from the Center for Nonviolent Communication, Robert is past President of the board of directors for the Center for Nonviolent Communication and a trainer at many NVC Intensive International Trainings, as well as a former assessor in North America for certifying NVC Trainers. He was one of the co-founders of the NVC Training Institute, a team of NVC trainers who offer in-depth and continuing NVC training in the United States and Europe.

For the first time, the NVC Multimedia Library has all nine sessions of Robert's webcasts, Living the Fullness of Life, available as a complete course with written transcripts. Living the Fullness of Life is Robert's first webcast series, and is truly a groundbreaking body of work. See just below for more details.

Living the Fullness of Life (Complete Course)

Living the Fullness of Life (Complete Course)
with :
Intermediate Skill Level  •  Video  •  14-18 hours

How do we live each and every day from the “living energy of needs” – with the unimpeded fullness of life’s energies flowing through us, regardless of the conflicts or life circumstances we may be experiencing? Through developing deep self compassion. How can we experience our inner world from a place of utter and total compassion? When we practice compassionate self-care, we create an inner spaciousness that allows our life’s energies to flow. In that spaciousness both healing and inner transformation occurs. Robert’s work explores the interweaving of two co-intentions—to live life from the fullness of the “beauty of needs” and to approach every experience with deep compassion.

The first session of this course is available for all to listen to and enjoy:
