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

From Thom:

Many people experience a correlation between self-empathy and how well we are able to stay in "NVC Consciousness." As we study and practice NVC, we learn that our ability to self-empathize is a requisite skill for living out our NVC Consciousness in the world.

Deep Empathy, Dialogue, Mediation, Being an NVC Trainer, and perhaps most importantly, knowing what we want to do versus what we think we should do, all are supported by our skills in self-empathy.

I have found, time after time, that it is this ability to self-empathize that is a key to being compassionate with ourselves, in our significant relationships and in our professional lives.  Through 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 anywhere and everywhere.

This intensive is intended to support and inspire participants in breaking through and getting that deeper,  more sustainable integration of self-empathy.  In a supportive, community environment, we experience challenge, guidance, nurturing and support in the limitless practice of self-empathy and seeing the world empathically. 

Throughout the training, we will build on that work with well-defined self-empathy practices and processes to develop an immediate, fruitful and sustainable 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 646 201 9226. Thank you for reading this.

With Love, Thom
