Living From Within - 4 Day Empathy Intensive - NONRESIDENTIAL

From Thom:

Many of
the people I've worked with over the years (myself included) get to a
point where we know what NVC is... we have read Marshall Rosenberg's
book(s), participated in a practice group, gone to workshops yet still
struggle to "integrate" empathy into moment by moment experience or at
a depth that we know is possible yet can't seem to get to. 

This intensive is
intended to support motivated NVC participants in breaking through and
having a deeper and more sustainable integration of empathy and
self-empathy in our lives.  In a supportive community environment (60-
90 people including 4-6 Trainer/facilitators) we experience challenge,
guidance and support in all the "pieces" that go into the empathy
process. 

Being present, being aware of and maintaining our focus and connecting with our intention are some of the skills we will work on throughout the Intensive.  We
will deepen our experience of Feelings and enrich our relationship
to the energy of Needs (our own and others).  These practices deepen
and increase our experience of empathy as well as our ability to give
empathy to others.

We will also work with our own self-empathy processes.
Many people experience a correlation between self-empathy and how well
we are able to stay in "NVC Consciousness."  For many of us, the
ability to Self-Empathize represents a key to integrating NVC into our
professional lives and significant relationships.  We learn that our
ability to self empathize becomes a requisite skill for Living NVC
Consciousness.  

Deep Empathy, Dialogue, Mediation, Being an NVC Trainer,
and perhaps most importantly, knowing what we want to do versus what we
think we should do, all are supported by our skills in Self-Empathy.  

This intensive presents an opportunity to understand and
practice Self-Empathy at a new level and identify practices you can use
for the rest of your Life, as an NVC practitioner and as a Human.

As an NVC Trainer, I am committed to supporting myself and those around me to share in a level of connection that can transcend conflict and habitual ways of being and to enrich and empower ourselves, our relationships and our organizations.  There is more information at http://www.nycnvc.org.  If you are interested or have questions, please call me at 212 496 3111.
