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

From Thom:

I have found, time after time, that it is our ability to internally empathize and self-empathize that is a key to being compassionate with ourselves, in our significant relationships and in our professional lives.  Through empathy and self-empathy we can understand what we want and how to get it in a way that is in harmony with our values.  We can hold a more compassionate view of the world more often. We can practice NVC.

These intensives are intended to support and inspire participants in breaking through and having a deeper and more sustainable integration of empathy and self-empathy than ever before. In a supportive, community environment, we experience challenge, guidance, nurturing and support in all the pieces that go into empathy, self-empathy and seeing the 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 these intensives, 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 and self-empathy. 

Throughout the retreat, we will build on that work with well-defined empathy and self-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. These intensives offer a new way to contribute to a more wonderful life and world for generations to come. Plus, they are a a lot of fun!

If you are interested in coming to one of the intensives, or have questions, please call Lyn at 646 201 9226. If you have training questions please call me at 212 496 3111.  Thank you for reading this.

With Love, Thom
