Workshops and Groups

NONVIOLENT COMMUNICATION WORKSHOPS

INTRODUCTION TO COMPASSIONATE COMMUNICATION
With Kathleen Golden, MA

TBA (to be announced)

Compassionate communication is based on Nonviolent Communication (NVC), the teachings of Marshall Rosenberg. It's purpose is to connect and communicate from the heart by transforming judgments and reactivity into compassionate understanding of ourselves and one another. Our focus in this retreat is to give participants an overview of the key teachings of NVC and to begin to express honestly without criticism and blame and receive empathically, without hearing criticism and blame. Kathleen will be offering a follow up Compassion Practice Group for support in on-going learning and practice.

Please call to put yourself on an interested list for these and future workshops.

The Volcano Rainforest Retreat was created in this primal and sacred space with deep respect for the natural beauty of the volcanic land and the native fern forest. The grounds and structures were developed to explore the potential for personal sacred living space as a healing art.
