David Weinstock is executive director of Liminal Somatics, an international trainer of Nonviolent Communication (NVC), a Somatic Coach, the originator of Somatic Consensus, and author of the book, Becoming What You Need: Practices for Embodying Nonviolent Communication. Woven into his programs are the time-honored lessons of mastery and conflict resolution distilled from the peaceful art of Aikido and forty years of experience as an entrepreneur and master goldsmith.

David and his wife, Judith, along with eight other families, co-founded an intentional community where they have raised their family, and where NVC and consensus have been practiced since 1990. They have devoted their adult lives to generating community and committing themselves to an integrated and intentional way of living. All of David’s work — in particular his present organization, Liminal Somatics — is based on building our connection to one another and toward a healthy stewardship of the earth for the sake of creating a nurturing world for generations to come.
