What If the Key to Cultivating Intimacy
and Deepening Your Relationships
Is Closer than You Think?

Would you like to learn how to move away from the Vector of Violence and step into the never-ending Spiral of Connection, Love, and Compassion?
Does it feel like you can’t wait any longer to build meaningful relationships based on mutual care and support, trust, intimacy, and the power of shared vulnerability?

Are you ready to meet life’s challenges with non-reactivity, anchored in Presence?
Do you long for relationships grounded in pure intention, transparency, and radical honesty?
What would addressing a conflict while prioritizing connection over separation be like?

This workshop with Luna provides a fundamental theoretical understanding and an experiential embodiment of essential elements that can help you remain connected to your compassionate and loving nature in any situation—regardless of how challenging it appears.

Using the framework of Nonviolent Communication (NVC) as well as the non-dual approach inspired by Self-Inquiry, you’ll learn how to:
  • Develop self-connection and self-groundedness as the true foundation of being and relating.
  • Become one with the sacred art of listening.
  • Hold yourself with presence amid any circumstance.
  • Embrace all that you are, and in doing so, embrace everyone else exactly as they are.
  • Fine-tune your capacity to feel safe and rooted in Presence as the basis for revealing yourself and uncovering who you truly are.
  • Experience how relationships can transform from being retraumatizing to becoming catalysts for deep healing.
  • Express yourself with authenticity, care, accountability, and integrity.
  • Listen empathically, regardless of how tragic another person’s expression might be.
  • Offer compassion and empathy to yourself and others.
  • Cultivate self-love and self-awareness.
  • Meet others with a high level of vulnerability and intimacy, strengthening your bond and deepening trust and genuine connection.
  • Self-regulate and co-regulate when you feel triggered or challenged.
  • Dive into somatic NVC practices via the non-linear wisdom of the body.
  • Integrate a systemic approach to understand the root of violence and the way out of it.

“I wanted to do this workshop because I felt such a lack of clarity in my communication. I always felt it was not really clear in a private and as well as in a professional way, and what I learned during this beautiful workshop with Luna was to be really connected with my heart, connected with my needs, and that it's also okay to say them...”

–Vanessa

“I really enjoyed the Compassionate Communication workshop with Luna, and one of the main reasons for coming and doing the workshop was that I've struggled with communication with family, friends, and in relationships for many years, so I was looking for new tools and new ways to approach communication, and during the workshop. This was a big emphasis on different exercises with partners and bringing up various life situations that you've been through, working them out in the moment...”
