Increase our capacity to engage effectively with others even in challenging situations + long-term dynamics
Cut the exhausting guesswork by attending to what will really make a difference
Transform patterns of separation, scarcity and powerlessness into TOGETHERNESS, CHOICE + FLOW
Stay open, curious and effective when tension arises
Be in the world with nothing to hide
Dare to dream and be VISION driven - the most powerful quality of all nonviolent people-led living and change
Co-create practices that support us to celebrate, mourn and learn from everything that happens as a way to maintain healthy digestion of all that happens in our lives
Create the support we need to sustain ourselves while attending to what truly matters
Contribute to others well-being while simultaneously attending to ours
Maximise readiness to respond to all of life - no matter how it shows up
Become a valuable resource for our important relationships - by choice

'For the last 2 days I have been really attuned to my needs, and the difference is not subtle. Stressful times like getting the kids to bed, are calm and easily negotiated. While I know the problems will not disappear, I am hopeful that this is the start of a new journey for me.' - anon
