Some takeaways from participants in our program immersions

“I was breath-taken by some of the examples he brought, and filled with hope connecting to the possibilities of teaching NVC through these examples. I was also very impressed with David’s presence and ease as a facilitator. It seems that more and more NVC practitioners are including the body in their work; David has his own unique way of doing that and I just hope that as many people as possible could access his work.”

– François Beausoleil, Executive Coach and trainer

"I enjoyed having movement and experiential learning being center-stage in the way you structured the day. As many of us expressed, the quality of connection and the learning environment you created were deeply nurturing and supported us in living the practice."

~Lucy Leu, CNVC Trainer, author

“Foremost in my mind is my excitement and joy in how deeply the Aikido movements actually support and facilitate the embodiment of NVC consciousness as I understand and hold it. I was enthused to use some of the movements the very next weekend in a workshop I gave. I sense that David has the ability to deeply self- connect, to be transparent and available to the moment, to hold an empathic presence with others and to share his gifts with humility.”

–Loren Swift, Psychotherapist and Certified NVC Trainer

Dear Community,

I teach what I love to learn. Reclaiming our empathic faculties and empowering our voices by aligning what we deeply value with our words and action are essential skills for any of us who want to deepen the quality of our relationships, generate community, and effect positive change—personal, social, environmental, or political. Somatic Consensus and practices for embodying Nonviolent Communication help synchronize language, emotions, and actions to support a meaningful life that is deeply felt. It is reconnecting, surprisingly direct, sometimes startling, always informative and is accelerated when we can do it together.

Come and be a part of this learning community.
