An Evening with Robert Gonzales
at Heart to Heart A special evening with Robert, open to all, is a Fundraiser for Heart-to-Heart.
Each of us passionately yearns to live a life that is fully alive and REAL – a life where you feel a deep sense of genuine, heart-felt connection and an awareness that you are at home… It’s a journey that takes place in your heart – and in your heart-to-heart experiences with others. Robert Gonzales
Seating begins at 6:15pm

RELATING HEART-TO-HEART:
|
“I have learned a huge amount from working alongside Robert. For me he embodies the compassionate embrace that he teaches. I recommend all NVC practitioners, especially anyone wishing to train others in NVC, to attend his events and benefit from what he has contributed, building on Marshall’s work.” Gina Lawrie, CNVC Certified Trainer, UK (and the first person to give NVC trainings in Australia)

Robert Gonzales Bio:
Robert Gonzales is the most sought-after Nonviolent Communication trainer in the world. Robert leads Nonviolent Communication Trainings throughout Europe, The United States, and Australia. More people travel more miles to learn and grow with Robert than any other Nonviolent Communication trainer.. The “Relating Heart-to-Heart” retreat in February is one of only two presentations Robert will be making on the east coast of the U.S. in 2015. The other will be in Maine in the November.
A number of factors make learning with Robert life-changing for so many people. One is the quality of his presence. Robert shows up, powerfully empathically present to each person that is before him. A second is that Robert points learners beyond technique, to a larger Presence that is at work. He is gifted not only at passing on inspiring exercise and practices, but also at leading people into an experience of their own spaciousness and beauty.
And third, Robert comes from vulnerability. He teaches not as an expert, but from his own vulnerable, open-heartedness. This models a way of leading for many of us who teach and train others.These three factors, and more, have us excited by the promise of the “Relating Heart-to-Heart” retreat in February retreat. We can feel already the community being formed, the open-heartedness being cultivating, and a spaciousness emerging. This promise, along with some of the most useful practices and tools for connecting to others and self, has led over forty-five people to register already. You may want to sign up soon, as space is limited.

What's Culture Got to Do With It? New Culture Philly Free Monthly Evenings
Many of us who are using NVC in our lives, as well as many other counter-cultural approaches like veganism, home schooling, non-materialism, etc. are basically taking on the whole existing culture on our own. As a result, we end up designing our lives piecemeal: a little of this, rejecting that, etc. Ever wonder what it would be like to live your life inside a community that not only supported, but encouraged your choices? That's the idea behind New Culture. We see it as the next big thing after NVC, because it creates a field of non-judgment in which to practice non-violence. Curiosity piqued? For me, New Culture is about freedom.
Freedom from limiting beliefs which got in before
we had a chance to decide whether or not the
beliefs which are transmitted in our particular
subset of the wider culture that we received which
are actually true for each of us.
Our Monthly New Culture Evenings
Time and Place: We'll meet at Rivers Manor, 508 E. Sedgwick St, Phila, PA 19119 (East Mt. Airy).
Topic: In January, I’d like to explore intimate relationships using this process, in particular, monogamy and polyamory. Cost: Evenings are free. Please pre-register so we know how many to expect. You can come to all or part of any evening - it's your community. Anyone who wants to help with organizing, facilitating or whatever, let Max know.
New Culture Potluck Let’s make our potlucks be in the spirit of the New Culture, as well.
For these potlucks, let’s assume the answer is:
“E. None of the Above,” and spend some time
thinking about what you could bring to a potluck
which would be aligned with your deepest truth
about your own health, happiness and wellbeing,
and what you would want to feed your community
assuming you love them and care for and about
them.

When you decided to marry, your
relationship was reflecting the love you had
within you, and the hope you brought to that
time of your life. Every journey has times of ease and times of challenge. When a marriage is in trouble, it is a reflection that it's time to attend to your personal journey. Are the challenges ahead the kind that you and your partner can navigate together; or are they the kind that indicate it's time to travel separately? In this workshop, you'll be guided
by both a professional marriage
mediator and a divorce
companion in exercises that will help you
find yourself again. Thursday, Oct 23, 7:30-9 pm at
Rivers Manor.
Marriage is a dynamic, ever changing landscape that is an outward reflection of your own internal state.

Does it feel like you're missing some key skill to connect with the younger people in your life - no matter what their age? Do you spend precious time arguing over small stuff? Do you find yourself resorting to bribery to get your grandchildren to do things? In this class, we'll teach you a few,
simple-to-master skills that will empower you to
communicate with young people successfully. Using
NVC (Non-violent Communication), you'll learn how
to respond to the young people in your life in a
way that can transform potential conflict into
win-win situations. Bring your real - life
challenges and we'll help you develop new ways of
dealing with old stuck places.

Then, on the weeks between classes
there will be a
Free Empathy Practice group
on Sundays
Empathy Practice Group
During the weeks between classes, Judy Morgan will be hosting a free, Empathy practice group.
She says, "Tentatively, we will have an informal practice group on the alternate weeks meeting on Sundays, at 7:00 pm. Two meetings left: 12/16and 12/23.
The focus of the practice group would be to explore feelings and needs in specific conflict situations (we can make them up or use our own experiences), and then role play how they could be handled. The group will eventually rotate facilitation but in the beginning will be facilitated by Max or Judy.
To join this group, and get the East Mt. Airy location, please email Judy.
or Go To the MEETUP at MEETUP.com
(Please email Judy to let her know if you're coming - especially on 11/25 - the meeting which is the Sunday after Thanksgiving so we know that at least 3 people are coming so the group will run.)
This is a free offering.
What is an Empathy Group?
Empathy groups usually meet weekly, and whoever is in need of some empathy requests time. You can either select a member to be your empathizer, or let the whole group interact with you. I recommend that after each session, you discuss what worked and what didn't, so you can keep learning how to do empathy better and better.
What is an Empathy Buddy?
Empathy Buddies usually exchange sessions over the phone. Some buddies call daily, some people have more than one buddy, so they can have sessions whenever they want. Usually you share the time, and take some time at the end of the call to discuss what worked and what didn't, so you can keep learning how to do empathy better and better.

7:0pm - 9pm | Where: East Mt Airy, Phila |
November 8th-11th, 2012 (Thursday to Sunday) When we have established our journey to hearing others empathically and expressing ourselves from our hearts, requests are how we connect to the life in others and help others understand the aliveness in us. They are also how we "get things done" in the context of this connection and understanding. Requests are the practical and profound tools we can use to deepen connection and understanding, engender compassion and transcend conflict. In this intensive we use the sum of skills and awareness developed in previous intensives to make NVC a powerful agent for connection and movement. In this advanced practice, requests help us reconnect to our needs and see our "demands." Requests give us an opportunity to transform how we see and act with others and to live in a "voluntary world". This intensive imparts learning and integration through the introduction of concepts followed by exercises, practices and role plays. This is an advanced level training. Suggested experience is 80-100 hours of training. Topics include:

Many lives have been touched by this annual retreat. The New York Intensive is known for offering simultaneous sessions for beginning, intermediate, and advanced levels in NVC. At the 2012 New York Intensive there will be three trainers, Kit Miller, Liv Larsson, and Roxy Manning who have collectively had over thirty-five years of training experience.

thrive in an environment of care and mutual
respect, supported by experienced staff and
each other. We want to make it possible for
families to learn new skills for harmony,
peace and cooperation together, with lots
and play and fun for everyone! "We enjoyed connecting with so many people who value
compassionate relationships and my family is
committed to working to embody NVC in our
lives. We�re hoping to return next year!" "This experience was very valuable for us as a family as a new
beginning of how we want to communicate to
each other and beyond! The ability to meet
without the children was pivotal and
addressing real situations helped to support
the practice." |

Pleasure
Class for Couples:
What's After NVC! So NVC has resolved your conflicts, what's next? The Pleasure Course! Couples often come to Max with problems and issues that need resolving. Even after working through the Teamwork Mediation method, a lot of couples still have their focus on solving problems and keeping the peace. But that's not why you got married, was it? NO! You wanted fun, pleasure, intimacy. So here is a cost-effective way for your and your spouse to learn the next set of skills after NVC: how to enjoy your spouse and your marriage. This 3.5 hour class will teach you some new communication skills and games you can take home with you. (Note: no touching, or anything else which would be embarrasing for anyone - just a much more fun version of NVC-like communication techniques which will take your marriage to the next level.) $100 includes you and your spouse!

Children spend most of their awake time (and all of their sleep time) in this state. This class will teach you how to guide your child, or even a whole class of children into this naturally receptive state with your choice of words, tone, etc. so they get the benefit of learning using the larger, more receptive part of their brains. In one or two well crafted sentences I can take a noisy, chaotic class, and have them quietly attending to challenging, brand new information - enjoying participating calmly and feeling deeply involved. This should be a required class for all teachers and parents. I look forward to sharing these skills with you. (No charge for teachers in Philly public schools.) $19, free for teachers in the Philadelphia Public Schools |

Lose Weight without Dieting with Hypnotism and Acupuncture | ||
June (cancelled)
|
There are three reasons people eat when they are not hungry: habit , emotional stress, and body cravings. Of these, only habit is easily controlled by the conscious will. We'll use light, natural trance-work to speak to the stress issue , and ear acupuncture to lessen the physical cravings. With this kind of support your chance at achieving your weight goals for the New Year greatly increases. This two hour class is an experiential introduction: you'll learn about hypnosis and experience a light trance and find out about what acupuncture can do for you. (Following through on your weight-loss regime will take a few follow-up sessions. Students in this class will get a discount on subsequent hypnosis sessions.) | |
Everyone is curious about hypnosis:
And so many more. Max does a form of hypnosis called "Natural Trance." It is a relaxing, restful state that everyone can go into, and which can help with any issue which is controlled by the unconsicous (sleep, long-term issues like habits, physical pain, emotions, etc.) In this experiential class, you'll learn what hypnosis really is, and get to experience a light trance. For some of you, this single session may be enough to change life-long habits. |

About the Facilitators John and Ike have each been training with NVC for 10 years and have been developing and evolving their mediation approach for the past 7 years, beginning with a journey together to the Pakistan-Afghanistan border to work with Afghan tribal elders in 2002, shortly after the bombings following 9/11. From this experience they saw first hand that despite cultural differences and multiple language translations, the NVC mediation process produced connection and collaborative resolution, even with a real dispute that came alive in the room during the training.

Dear everyone, More than just
a luxury in ordinary times, Compassionate
Communication skills are more important than
ever in our rapidly changing world. While many
people are experiencing stress or worry about
conditions in today's world -- the state of the
economy, for instance -- more and more are
recognizing that in order to gracefully weather
the chaos, skills to communicate and connect are
extremely valuable. Compassionate Communication
is much more than a communication process -- it
is a way of life that can be applied in any
situation to bring about more peace, harmony and
mutual respect... that can resolve any conflict
to everyone's satisfaction. Is that something
that sounds attractive to you? Would you enjoy
developing those skills within yourself? If so,
I invite you to join Bob Wentworth and me for a
fun and experiential workshop.
|

All couples have disagreements, but why? Did you know that research now shows the single best indicator of divorce is the way a couple speaks to each other? In this class we'll explain what causes conflict, and teach you a few easy-to-learn techniques that will turn 80% of those potential arguments into opportunities for greater intimacy, instead of frustration and anger. The instructors will share with you their skills as professional couples mediators and NVC* instructors. Bring your spouse or come alone. This class will also be helpful for people between relationships seeking to improve their partnership skills. |

We work for a peaceful and life-enriching world. Yet, when we meet
people with views quite different from ours, angry feelings can
arise.
Is it possible to speak authentically AND help heal our divisions?
This will be an introduction to the potent and compassionate
4-step
process for connecting across differences, developed by Marshall
Rosenberg,PhD. What we say next will change our world.
Offered by Melinda Zipin, MBA, CEO of Assertive Diplomacy™
Trainings.
Melinda teaches communication processes to individuals and
businesses,
from the US Army to meditation centers. Her passion is to pass on
practical tools for living our values.

Mahatma Gandhi advised, "Be the change you wish to see in the
world."
Nonviolent Communication® gives us a 4-step process that,
amazingly,
makes this do-able for everyday people.
Imagine how your contribution to peace might expand if you had
tools to…
Converse with “adversaries” with confidence & warmth, without
“giving
in”
Melinda Zipin, facilitator, will role-play conversations, e.g.,
with
someone who is prejudiced or holds contrasting political views.
We’ll
use the 4-step process to practice Speaking Peace.
Fee: $50 (scholarships available) Please bring a dish
to share for
potluck lunch.
We’d love for you to join us!
