WAKING THE DOVE: A body-centered approach to communication and conflict resolution (Based on the NVC model developed by Marshall Rosenberg
and presented in his book
Nonviolent Communication, A Language for Life),

Led by Alexa Simpson

I have been exploring ways to make this extraordinarily life-changing process even more accessible by making it more experiential - more in the body, in the moment.
I am very excited by what has come of this process and cannot wait to share it with you. .

This is the best gift you could give to yourself and to everyone around you!

The foundation of this approach is a spiritual and body-centered understanding of human relationships and communications.

This invaluable training will help you transform conflict into connection by:
- Building relationships based on compassion and understanding
- Being fully present to another person, instead of mechanically using a technique
- Accurately sensing other people's feelings and needs
- Staying in your own skin and connecting to your true feelings and needs, instead of analyzing
- Speaking the truth without blame or criticism
- Breaking patterns of thinking that lead to anger and depression

The model and process of Nonviolent Communication, on which this training is based, has been developed over the past 40 years by Marshall Rosenberg, Ph.D. It is being practiced and shared with powerful and transformative results on 6 continents in over 40 countries around the world in a wide range of settings and organizations, including families, communities, schools, businesses, government, law firms, prisons, urban gangs, healthcare and social services, law enforcement.

In her classes, workshops and private sessions, Alexa has been teaching a body-centered approach to speaking our truth. She facilitates learning to re-connect to what is most alive in us in the present and to powerfully communicate honesty and empathy in a way that meets the needs of all concerned. More information on Alexa's background and training is included below. For more information on NVC see www.cnvc.org and www.nonviolentcommunication.com.

I cannot recommend it highly enough."
Jack Canfield, Chicken Soup for the Soul series
