Healing & Evolving Through NVC

A Group Process Telecourse w/Kelly

Change your History!  Change your Future!

Sick and tired of wallowing in your own process?

Would you rather be Creating Great Creations and Passionately Loving People?

We will learn NVC as we use the Healing Power of Empathy, and the Evolutionary Power of Compassionate Honesty to:

Stop Worrying, Complaining and Blaming.

Stop being the Star Victim in your own Drama.

We will evolve (heal) your emotions about your Past

This will change your perspective of your Past.

This will change your perspective of your Present.

This will change your experience of your Present.

This change will shape your Future.

A large focus of the group will be pure NVC group healing and empowerment process (that I learned from Marshall Rosenberg for many years) , i.e. participants bringing up their present emotions about  their past, present and future lives.  Kelly and the group will hold a space of “Sacred Attention” as Kelly uses NVC and other modalities to do transformational work with each person.  Then others will share their responses, as we piggy back, learn, heal, evolve, love and grow together. We will also be guided through various structured processes for ReWriting our Stories, changing our past and ReVisioning our Future
