with  Thom Bond
Founder and Director of  NYCNVC, Certified Trainer, CNVC

From Thom:

"Many people I've worked with over the past 6 years (myself included) get to a point where we know what NVC is; we have read Marshall Rosenberg's book(s), participated in a practice group, gone to workshops yet still struggle to "integrate" empathy into moment by moment experience or at a depth that we know is possible yet can't seem to get to.

This training is intended to support and inspire participants in breaking through and having a deeper integration of empathy than ever before. In a supportive, community environment, we experience challenge, guidance, nurturing and support in the practices of empathy and seeing our world empathically. 

Throughout our time together we will deepen our capacity for being present, being aware of our focus and our own capabilities and willingness, moment by moment.

Going Deeper

Feelings and needs are the heart of empathy.  So our relationship to them directly influences the quality and depth of our empathy.  At this intensive, through practice and exercise, we will broaden and enrich our understanding and experience of feelings and needs (our own and others) and thereby deepen our practice of empathy. 

Throughout the retreat, we will build on that work with well-defined empathy processes to get immediate and fruitful practice.

As an NVC trainer, I am committed to supporting myself and and everyone in sharing a level of connection that transcends conflict, enriches our lives, our relationships and our world. 

It's a great time in history when we can so clearly identify, learn and practice the skills of making peace, within ourselves and in the world.  I am profoundly grateful to be a part of that. This Intensive offers a new way to contribute to a more wonderful life and world for generations to come.

If you are interested in joining us, or have questions, please call Lyn at 646 201 9226.  Thank you for reading this.

With Love, Thom
