Introduction to the Living Energy of Needs

An Audio Recording with Susan Skye

Listen to an Audio Snippet

Listen to Susan introduce the "living energy of needs" to workshop participants, including a review of our preconceived concepts of needs.

If you don't see media player above, or it doesn't start playing within 15 seconds, you probably need a newer version of the Adobe Flash Player for your computer: If so, this will help.


"Over the years, I have noticed that people -- including trainers and facilitators -- use the words of the NVC process without full connection to life energy, often resulting in a failure to get to a full connection with actual life energy of these qualities that we have named "needs." This results in a mechanical communication model, rather than a true empathic connection. Join me in learning how to share NVC as an embodied, living practice of the 'Living Energy of Needs."
—Susan Skye

This is an hour long download that defines and describes what a need is and how to use needs in the NVC process in a way that channels life rather than mechanical words.  It includes an exercise that supports learning how to do this.
