Recession-proof NVC training stays
alive and well in New York.
By Thom Bond
Funny (and wonderful) what can happen when we stay present to what people
want. This certainly was case as our summer intensives approached and
people were speaking to me of their needs.
What did people say? "We
want to have choice, fun, beauty, learning, growth, connection, community,
adventure and have it all be affordable so we can have security and ease too."
So I spoke to my mentors and friends and we thought and we thought.
And from this awareness of peoples needs along with some creative juices, came
a plan. And two new Empathy Intensives were born. Both looked very different
from the original, we had conceived off almost a year (and a financial crisis)
ago yet would address all the needs we were hearing about. Although both Intensives will have similar depth of material and
experience, one will be NON-RESIDENTIAL right here in the City and one will be
RESIDENTIAL, out on Long Island in the woods along the beach.
At the Beach - Cedar Point in East Hampton, Long Island
The first "Living From Within" Empathy Intensive is from July 16 to 19 and
will be at Cedar Point Campground and Beach. We have our own area that
includes an outdoor kitchen and dining area where we will share meals.
Shared tent camping including food will only cost $125 plus tuition for all 4
days. If you're looking for less nature and more accommodation we have
off-site cabins and suites with a daily shuttle (shared and private 3-star
lodging from $400 to $1000 plus tuition for all 4 days) and all sorts of
options in between. This way you can follow your heart without emptying
your bank account.
We have our own indoor conference area in Thom Bond's brother's house which is
on site. Yes, Thom's brother (Randy) lives on the campground.
Randy is the Superintendent for the entire park and has offered us his back
porch which is on (yes on) the Long Island Sound. We will also have a
campfire or two there.
During the afternoon free-time (or anytime if you feel like it) you can
swim, snorkel, hike, rent boats and more. There's a little onsite store
too.
In New York City - Chelsea
Our August 13 to 16 intensive will take place in our New York Office and
Conference Space. This is right in Chelsea at 28th and 7th Ave. It
is built, almost entirely, from reclaimed wood, features natural "borrowed
light" and even recycles waste water through a "bio-sculpture" in the lobby.
We have a large modern conference room where we will be meeting and training
WITH NO COSTS OTHER THAN TUITION.
