On Monday, we will explore NVC and Money together, especially how to tap into the open-hearted flow of giving and receiving that transforms scarcity thinking into thriving creatively, so you can joyfully contribute and receive from that space. Everyone is welcome! We meet live, online weekly. We have designed each session to stand alone, and all of the topics are interconnected.

Mondays, 6:30- 8:30 pm US-Pacific Time (Los Angeles)

Watch a Recording of the Session:

Offered weekly with compassionate giving and receiving gift economy. Each week is a stand-alone. Feel free to forward this to friends. All are welcome.

On Monday, we will explore the Vortex of Submission together. We’ve enjoyed sharing the Vortex of Submission at workshops, conferences, and IITs since the early days of our career as Certified Trainers. This training often has the effect of jaw-dropping “aha” as participants connect with a previously unseen habitual pattern. This pattern has likely been the root of suffering in your relationships, both personal and professional.

So far, with thousands of participants, no one has ever said, “that doesn’t make sense to me”. Instead, we get reports of gratitude, deep inspiration, and profound, life-connected mourning. 

Once you see the Vortex, you can never unsee it, and will predictably give you pause before acting in a way that will harm your most precious relationships. Nonviolent Communication offers you many choices for freeing yourself from the Vortex.

In 2010, four certified trainers of Nonviolent Communication produced a new tool to help people successfully learn, strengthen, improve, and integrate the skills and consciousness of Nonviolent Communication. They called this tool the Pathways to Liberation Self-Assessment Matrix. Since then, thousands of NVC practitioners have been using the Matrix to identify skills, clarify strengths, discover edges, and navigate their own personal journeys toward emotional liberation and a more just, peaceful, and loving world.

In our Open-hearted Practice Group, we’ve been working through the skills of the Matrix since October. Last week, we finished the series, and to celebrate and consolidate our learning, we will explore the entire Matrix with a guided self-assessment.

Jori and Jim, two of the four co-authors of the Matrix, will help you to set a course toward deepening self-knowledge, skill, and confidence with your practice of Nonviolent Communication. Whether you are a longtime practitioner of NVC or have only recently begun your journey, this week’s class will support your practice of Nonviolent Communication in becoming more dynamic, accessible, and fun!

In this session, we will be continuing to explore the Pathways to Liberation Matrix practices that support the skill of Awareness of Response-ability. Freely choosing one’s responses to what shows up in life, owning one’s part in what happens. Not owning others’ parts, and acknowledging that one’s actions do influence others.

……..

UNSKILLED: Victim consciousness: Lacks clarity about whose part is whose; perceives that one’s experience and actions can be caused by others or external circumstances (e.g.: I caused yours, you caused mine, or it caused yours or mine)
AWAKENING: Becoming aware of victim consciousness and its costs; relief and freedom in the awareness of our power, and still finding ourselves stuck in habitual patterns of guilt and blame; diagnoses others as stuck or blaming, and attempts to educate them to protect oneself.
CAPABLE: Able to take ownership of one’s experience and choices when one becomes aware of blaming, justifying, or minimizing, without trying to take ownership of others’ reactions and responses.
INTEGRATED: Consistently able to respond with equanimity. Grounded and centered in the authorship of one’s own life. Clear about others’ authorship of their lives.
