Practice and Explore: Streaming and Timing and Rhythm
Practices include SURF and empathic listening, the 5 Elements, beginning to shape your commitment. You are invited to incorporate SURF, 5 Elements practices, and somatic journaling daily.
The Responsible Self: Grounded Vision, Commitment and Trajectory
We are most powerful when we are ignited by what we care about and putting that out into the world. We organize around one simple question: “What do you care about?” The feelings and emotions that illuminate your answer become the springboard for self-growth, empowerment, and healthy relationships. Practices include SURF and empathic listening with a resource at your back, exploring a Moment of Ignition, & continuing to shape your commitment.
Practice and Explore: S.U.R.F., 5 Elements, Should/Choose
Practices include SURF, 5 Elements, exploring the experience of "should" and "choose to" in the body, and moving to Wind in the challenger/receiver role play. You are invited to continue your daily practice and journal about what you are noticing from the practices and exploring the quality of "joy."
S.U.R.F. Centering, Self Resourcing, Commitments
Explore A Moment of "Ignition" and your personal commitment in an empathic listening field, SURF, and Core Strategies. Learn tips for Somatic Journaling.
Practice and Explore: Commitments & Feedback
Practice SURF, holding empathic listening fields, expressing your commitment, giving and receiving somatic observations and feedback.
Shape Shifting and Inner Consensus
Shape-Shifting training develops “somatic impressions” — body/mind understandings — qualities of being that, over time, reveal the source of our deep needs, providing opportunities for profound insight and self-growth. It combines visualization, physical and linguistic features, forming a daily practice for managing feelings of being overwhelmed, listening with empathy, and for harmonizing conflict. Inner consensus is a deeply empathic listening process for unifying our inner resources, centering and empowering our choices, words, and actions.

When we are relaxed and present with others, those around us relax and respond in kind. This session is a distillation of NVC, a simple practice that brings living Nonviolent Communication into relationships over the long term.

Somatic Observations and the Signals We Give
Words convey a great deal; however, presence is where we radiate and transmit our whole being. Training our senses somatically increases the ability to listen and feel the rhythms within and around us. Over time, as training becomes more embodied, the underlying currents and cues in all interactions can become more deeply felt.

Leadership Qualities
In the session we will explore practices for organizing and empowering word and action by grounding ourselves in NVC consciousness. Leadership qualities such as honesty, integrity, humility, acceptance, empathy are learnable states of being. When you know deeply what matters and what you care about and you move from that place, you can powerfully lead yourself and others. Much of what we express is non-verbal. When words and action come out of an internal consensus, when we are deeply moved by the life that course through and around us, we can effect life affirming change based in loving protection for all.
