This new group meets every Friday morning on zoom through until the end of May.
Each session is stand alone so you can join just one session or all of them if you would like to.
The sessions are designed for people with some basic NVC experience, either previous practice group attendance, a foundations training or other experience learning or living with NVC.
I invite you to pay attention to connections, conflicts and interactions in your day to day wonderings through life and to bring those struggles with you so you can use them as live examples to practice with. Perhaps you bring them as a gift, an offering to our shared attempts to learn ….With practice and courage we can use this time together to bear witness to the challenges and joys of being in relationship to life and the intention to meet each other in our humanity.
There are no set fees for practice and I would like you to consider what you would like to offer in exchange for my time, either per session or for the 8 weeks we will practice together.
Please contact me to book your place.
For Love in a Time of Conflict – John O’Donohue
When the gentleness between you hardens
And you fall out of your belonging with each other,
May the depths you have reached hold you still.
When no true word can be said, or heard,
And you mirror each other in the script of hurt,
When even the silence has become raw and torn,
May you hear again an echo of your first music.
When the weave of affection starts to unravel
And anger begins to sear the ground between you,
Before this weather of grief invites
The black seed of bitterness to find root,
May your souls come to kiss.
Now is the time for one of you to be gracious,
To allow a kindness beyond thought and hurt,
Reach out with sure hands
To take the chalice of your love,
And carry it carefully through this echoless waste
Until this winter pilgrimage leads you
Towards the gateway to spring.
