2 EVENTS:

In these dynamic events we will use real life examples to explore how we can:

• 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
