When we learn to relate to all of our emotions as meaningful messengers, they guide us to parts of ourselves that may be unfamiliar or even uncomfortable. By bringing compassion and trust to every part of our experience, we can integrate these aspects into our wholeness and bring our full selves into life, creativity, and relationships. In this way, Living Compassion is about living from the fullness of who we are. [Living Compassion](https://living-compassion.org/) is a body of work, rooted in Nonviolent Communication, developed by Late NVC trainer [Robert Gonzales](https://www.cnvc.org/trainers/deceased/robert-gonzales). **Journey Structure: 9-months (March-November 2027)** - **In-Person Immersions (Offline):** Two deep-dive retreats at the [Quiet Healing Centre, Auroville India](https://www.quiethealingcenter.info/). **14 days of in-person residential training**. The retreats are on the following dates: - March 7–14, 2027 - Nov 21–28, 2027 - **Continuous Support (Online):** Monthly Practice Circles and fortnightly Empathy Buddy pairs to integrate the work into your daily life. Over nine months, we move from theoretical understanding to embodied presence. Alongside deep self-connection, you’ll: - Embrace All of You: Learn practices that help you relate with ‘unpleasant experiences’ with curiosity & wholeness. - Explore practical tools to embody compassion in everyday life. - Cultivate Interior Space: Build the self awareness and fullness needed to show up with response-ability in your relationships. - Deepen Needs Consciousness: Take a deep dive into the heart of NVC through practical, everyday embodiment. **Facilitated by:** [Mironel de Wilde](https://www.cnvc.org/trainers/mironel-de-wilde) (Certified NVC and Living Compassion Trainer) **Organised by:** [Astha Agarwal ](https://www.cnvc.org/trainers/astha-agarwal)and [Vega Moon](https://www.cnvc.org/trainers/vega-jiwon-moon) (Certified Trainers) **Group size:** 25-30 (As of September, we have 6 more spots left for this workshop). **Here are some[ testimonials ](https://www.canva.com/design/DAHGveqqpk8/t3ajxNWBlFISsewGkCE_5g/view?utm_content=DAHGveqqpk8&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link&utm_source=viewer)from participants of previous iterations!** **Course Contribution:** - **Tutition:** We offer a sliding scale acknowledging the global economic landscape. - Indian Subcontinent and the Global South: ₹75,000 (in Indian National Rupee) - Global North: €1,500 / $1600 - **Accomodation and Food:** Accommodation available on Single, Double and Triple sharing basis at Quiet Healing Centre, Auroville, India, for both the retreats.
