Some Reviews from real people
This group is not a good fit for you if …
→ Your desire to RECEIVE empathy is greater than your desire to OFFER empathy. (We will be focusing on our own skill development, growth and learning, and less on receiving help from one another – even though that is often a delightful side-effect of practice!)
→You’re just beginning your journey with nonviolent communication and are still developing your emotional literacy and needs literacy. (We will focus on applying and honing an already solid skill set, not on building the foundational skills.)
→You’re looking for a space to advise, teach or educate others. (This group is for fellow-journeyers coming from shared humanity and will focus on skills for enhancing empathic connection with others and skillful, kind self-expression.)
→You’re suffering from unhealed trauma, have trouble self-regulating and are still easily triggered into shame, fear and reactivity. (If this is you, let’s find you a great therapy group, healing group or support group instead.)
→ You Seek Quick Fixes: Personal growth and empathy-building require patience and dedication. If you’re looking for overnight solutions, this group might not meet your expectations.
→You Resist Self-Reflection: Embracing empathy and relationship skills involves self-exploration and introspection. If you’re not ready to look inward, this group may not align with your needs.
→You Justify Harmful Behavior: Our group is founded on respect and compassion for all individuals. If your intentions are to promote harmful behaviors or ideologies, this is not the space for you.
One of our members recently said, “I feel like I’m getting deep training in being a better human and living peacefully with others without giving up any of my own strength or authenticity like I usually feel like I have to do.”
Deeper Skills Practice Sessions
Mondays from 6pm-7:30pm CT, every other week.
Due to the nature of this program, active participation and attendance is requested on all calls.
This will be one of the few calls where each person will be asked to be ON video, and in active dialogue and discussion with one another during all calls.
Why I started this group …
After witnessing the profound impact the principles and practices of a compassion-based, empathy-heavy nonviolent ways of being have had on countless lives, I felt compelled to create this Advanced Practice Group so that I can help others, who are helping other.
As a passionate advocate for empathy, connection, and personal growth, I wanted to provide a space for experienced students, practitioners and students of compassion-based healing and change to delve deeper into the intricacies of NVC, challenge themselves to new levels of understanding, and foster a supportive community where vulnerability is celebrated as strength.
I also longed to create a space where high-functioning, resourced, skilled people with sound interpersonal capacities can come together for mutual support and exploration.
This group is born out of a shared belief in the transformative power of empathy, and my goal is to empower individuals like you to elevate your communication skills and create a ripple effect of positive change in our world. Together, we embark on an inspiring journey of empathy, connection, and empowered living.
