4 Thursdays 3/8-3/29 6:30pm-8:30pm
Do you sometimes feel like parts of you are at odds with each other? Do you feel stuck or uncertain in specific areas of your life due to these internal conflicts? Do you experience oppressive internal voices that are cruel or painful?
In this 4 class series, we will learn to apply Nonviolent Communication (NVC), and other heart centered approaches, to meet these parts of our self with compassionate presence and listening. When a part is fully heard, it no longer needs to take our energy. This frees our energy to have more choice in our lives.
We will cultivate inner peace in the service of bringing more peace to our world. To the extent we cultivate this quality of compassionate listening within ourselves, it will flow into our relationships and everyday interactions.
To quote Peace Pilgrim – “We can work on inner peace and world peace at the same time. On one hand, people have found inner peace by losing themselves in a cause larger than themselves, like the cause of world peace, because finding inner peace means coming from the self-centered life into the life centered in the good of the whole. On the other hand, one of the ways of working for world peace is to work for more inner peace, because world peace will never be stable until enough of us find inner peace to stabilize it.”
According to the Dalai Lama – “World peace must develop from inner peace. Peace is not just mere absence of violence. Peace is, I think, the manifestation of human compassion.”

About Sunil: I started studying Nonviolent Communication (NVC) in 2004. NVC has had a transformational effect on my professional and personal life. I am continually amazed at the power and simplicity of this way of living life. While I am not a certified NVC trainer, I am happy when the fruits of my personal practice can benefit others. I consider myself a lifelong NVC learner and explorer.
