There seem to be hidden forces within us that keep unconsciously leading us, again and again, into the same melody of our lives. In this session, we will try to see our life-journey as a whole and rehabilitate our capacity to be in this existence of ours more directly and fully.

Why does NVC practice, and NVC training/coaching, appear to be not enough to bridge divides between people? This article takes a look at the trickle down effect of our societal conditioning, what we can add to our NVC lense, and what we can do "upstream" when NVC doesn't seem to be enough.

How do you know when you’re projecting disowned parts or replaying old relationship dynamics?

The stronger your reaction, the more likely you are...

When you or anyone is upset, what could underneath the trigger? There may be more than is immediately visible. This article invites us to explore what it looks like to inquire deeper, take self-responsibility, examine our assumptions, attachments, interpretations, and "certainties" that could be hidden behind the needs that are aching to be attended to...

Using real-life examples from class participants, Sylvia Haskvitz demonstrates the life-changing results of clarifying the needs underlying "shoulds."

Mary continues her discussion of tracking skills, focusing on tracking requests, agreements with the group and tracking time.

Mary closes with some final helpful tips to hone your tracking skills.

John Kinyon and Matthew Rich examine the ways in which people’s worldviews can be different and why this often creates conflict.
