it's difficult for you to speak your truth
you want to llive more authentically
you have a challenged partnership, relationship, or friendship,
you're a parent and want to model healthy communication and empathy for your kids
you struggle with codependency or figuring out your feelings
there's a difficult conversation that you need to have, but you're afraid to have it
you want to break generational cycles of hurtful, unhealthy communication
you want a better connection to your intuition and spirit guides
Nonviolent Communication (NVC) pursues a vision of the world where people joyfully and compassionately contribute to each other and resolve conflicts peacefully. Developed by Marshall Rosenberg out of work with civil rights activists, NVC is a method for peacefully and effectively resolving conflicts in personal, organizational, and political settings. Even in war-torn areas and economically disadvantaged countries, NVC has been successfully used to promote reconciliation and peaceful resolution of differences.
Yes. NVC trains you to be not only a better speaker, but also a better listener. NVC shifts the relationship from adversarial to empathetic. Instead of focusing on communication and connection tension, NVC helps to turn that awareness within, where your own wisdom forms. From a place of awareness and wisdom, you set the tone and temperature of the conversation.
Shamanic journeying is the act of going to the spirit world for answers for questions in any area of life. In a vision quest into the spirit world, you'll connect with helping spirits to heal the mind, deal with external stress, and understand the self and the world. The realizations and wisdom shared by your spirit guides bypass the mental and emotional blocks we put up; this creates profound shifts and changes because it's done on a soul level. These changes filter down to the physical, mental, and emotional level, so change is easier and faster.
You don't need to be intuitive or have any experience. You'll be using my connection to Spirit not yours to enter shamanic space. I use drumming and intention to bring you into shamanic space. At a certain beats per minute the brain produces chemicals that allow one to enter the spiritual world; as a Filipino babaylan shaman by lineage, my brain produces a lot of those chemicals, allowing me to bring others in. I create a safe, protected space there and invite your highest and best spirit guides in so they can share their information to help with your healing. Once they're done, I bring you and them out of the space and close it.
The course runs from June 11th - July 16th. We meet for classes (approximately 90 minutes) via Zoom on Saturdays at 10AM PST.
A replay will be uploaded to the course and sent to all participants.

"I discovered nonviolent communication years ago through my Buddhist sangha.
While I expected it to help me have tough conversations, I was surprised by how it helped me learn about myself. I learned to sort out the root of what I was really feeling, what I wanted, and what I needed.
When we don't truly know ourselves, it's easy to use the language of judgment, blame, and domination in our relationships.
Through this group - instead of imploding from holding in your truth or exploding at someone else - you'll develop the clarity, confidence, and skills to express yourself honestly, while also listening to the other person with an open mind."
