    (6 Session Course)

    Robert Gonzales

    Multi-session Course · 7 - 10 hours · 4/6/2019

    Living Compassion, for Robert, represents the spirituality that resides in every aspect of Nonviolent Communication. Its foundational principles are represented by three primary qualities or states of being: clarity, compassion and empowerment.

    In this course you’ll explore – and practice – how the unfolding of inner clarity opens your way to compassion, which further unfolds into empowerment. Throughout this unfolding process, Robert will include maps and tips for shifting your everyday life from one that is relatively limiting to a life that is both transformative, healing and liberating.

  8. Certified NVC Trainer Aya Caspi describes Nonviolent Communication (NVC) as a restorative practice—one that reconnects us with life, trust, and the experience of mattering. She reflects on Marshall Rosenberg’s vision of NVC as a “language of life,” helping us shift from disconnection to connection, from distrust to trust.
