What’s a powerful way of deepening YOUR NVC consciousness? Sharing it with others! Facilitating NVC courses is a richly powerful way of deepening your own NVC consciousness. It tends to continually remind you of the ways in which you’re living — or not living — your practice. This intensive has been designed to help you further develop your NVC teaching skills, augment your personal teaching style, rediscover ease and joy around sharing NVC, and fall in love with the process all over again!

CNVC Certified Trainer Miki Kashtan shares a tip on holding a group's needs while empathizing with a single person in the group.

Habits, patterns, and judgments: automatic reactions like these can easily get in the way of opening to the aliveness of each present moment. During this course, you’ll explore ways in which integrating a blend of NVC and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction can help you deepen your connection to your whole self — feelings, needs, body, and mind — and enable you to bring a far deeper focus to intention, acceptance, empathy, compassion, and gratitude. Weekly home practices included!

Human suffering and challenges often have their source in the social systems in which we live… We’ve known this since the 1960s. The question is: how might we use this knowledge in ways that support healing ourselves — and others? Join Miki for this powerful three-day intensive and find out. You’ll be delving into ways of overcoming modern patriarchal socialization, reclaiming humanity’s interdependence, and exploring how to move beyond the impact of social location and step into healing.
