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:

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.

NVC is an invaluable tool for strengthening your connection to all beings: from one-celled life forms to more complex beings such as trees, humans, and other animals.

You’ll deepen your ability to love animal nature — especially human nature — and learn how you might weave compassion into every thought, word, and action.
