Shape Shifting and Inner Consensus
Shape-Shifting training develops “somatic impressions” — body/mind understandings — qualities of being that, over time, reveal the source of our deep needs, providing opportunities for profound insight and self-growth. It combines visualization, physical and linguistic features, forming a daily practice for managing feelings of being overwhelmed, listening with empathy, and for harmonizing conflict. Inner consensus is a deeply empathic listening process for unifying our inner resources, centering and empowering our choices, words, and actions.

Over time, as training becomes more embodied, the underlying currents and cues in all interactions can become more deeply felt.

Leadership Qualities
In the session we will explore practices for organizing and empowering word and action by grounding ourselves in NVC consciousness. Leadership qualities such as honesty, integrity, humility, acceptance, empathy are learnable states of being. When you know deeply what matters and what you care about and you move from that place, you can powerfully lead yourself and others. Much of what we express is non-verbal. When words and action come out of an internal consensus, when we are deeply moved by the life that course through and around us, we can effect life affirming change based in loving protection for all.
