Compassionate Communication
A 3-Day Workshop on Connecting
Heart-to-Heart in Any Situation
with Claud Vaduva
December 17-20, 2022
Presented in English in Mazunte, Mexico
Do You Want to Honor the Full Authenticity and Aliveness
of Your Being in Every Moment?
This workshop with Claud will provide a fundamental theoretical understanding and an experiential embodiment of essential elements that can help you remain connected to your compassionate and loving nature in the midst of any situation—regardless of how challenging it appears to be.
Using the framework of Non-Violent Communication (NVC) as well as the non-dual approach inspired by the Self-Inquiry Method, you’ll explore how to:
- Authentically express yourself with compassion and self-responsibility
- Listen empathically, regardless of how tragic the other person’s expression might be
- Offer (self-)compassion and (self-)empathy
- Cultivate self-love and self-awareness
Content
This workshop offers an artfully integrated array of practices, including journaling, role-playing, body NVC, asanas to activate the heart chakra, heart-based and Hridaya meditations, Self-Inquiry, and group dynamics. We’ll prioritize interactive and meaningful practice, emphasizing the use of the communication tools that we learn and delving into topics relevant to the needs of the group.
