Deep & transformative NVC events in Boston, New York, Maine

Greetings from our hearts to yours! I am Gina Cenciose a Nonviolent Communication certified trainer and  a lover of Peace, Awareness and COmpassion. I really value and am enthused about the wonderful NVC community of colleages that I am blessed to learn, share NVC with and grow as people with. SOme of these wonderful folks are:

Peggy Smith, Valerie Lanctot Bedard, Rachelle Lamb, Dian Killian, Henry Wai, Anne Bourrit (and other European and french Quebecois trainers) and  Martha Lasley

I am sending you a link to me, sharing NVC in AZ to get to know who I am:A Wonderful  On Line resource for Learning Nonviolent Communication! if you are aware of this wonderful website, www.nvctraining.com where anyone can become a member for $10.00 a month and receive all kinds of rich and life enhancing NVC learning, I want to tell you that they have put a 40 minute clip of our lead trainer, Gina Cenciose, sharing nvc with a group.  To  access this part of the website go to: http://nvctraining.com/media/GC/TP-key-diffs-200812/ you can download it and have it on dvd’s or on your computer.

Here is some more detailed information about how Gina  leads and co leads her 7 different Year long NVC Integration programs with the themes we use to deepen and broaden our awareness, and our ability  to be self connected through inner listening and embracing and therefor our capacity to be present and loving in all of our relationships. NVC  is a deep truly life enhancing inner and outer practice of relationship with self and others. Learning to be with and dissipate through deep presence of self and others, all of our feelings of shame, inadequacy, guilt and self aversion so we can embody that which we most  deeply  value.

As her main teacher, Eckhart Tolle has said about ending suffering: “how can we offer to others what we are not offering to ourselves?”

There are 4 upcoming NVC year long programs starting in 2009 besides the ones that are already underway:

one on  Long Island NY (starting APril 1-5th please go to www.facilitatechange.org for info)
[Also Click here to check out The Long Island Compassionate Communication Network! Or here http://planetnvc.blogspot.com/ -ISW]

one in Montreal  ( starting up on May 29-31st send Gina an email for details_
one in Ottawa (starting up April 17-19th please go to www.rachellelamb.com for info)

one 6 month deepening of NVC in northern Arizona starting up in July (send Gina a message for the flyer)
more info below:

Some of the work we will be playing with together is:
Accessing and sustaining unconditional positive regard for
ourselves and others. Expanding trust, openness, vulnerability and genuine self acceptance; Cultivating wonder, awe openheartedness and surrender.Focusing on gratitude and appreciation of what is. Listening and embodying full empathic presence to the life within and without.

Engaging in every aspect of life wholly, with heart, soul and spirit, embracing it all, messy and beautiful, we will also   focus on creating space for authentic expression. Learning to embrace inner and outer conflict and allowing it to flower, no holds barred.
Lovingly and gratefully practising staying connected with what matters most to us in life, in every now moment.
LEANING INTO INNER TRUST

We will support each other  in discovering what helps us each  to stay grounded to our deepest intention, the one that most nourishes and supports life for us.
Living from Joy & Awareness:
We joyfully and playful concentrate on allowing full consciousness of everything that is alive inside of you, moment to moment, and choosing to sit with it and experience life, instead of changing it, healing it, fixing it. Having insights on where we hold it down, and block true transformation by not being  fully present  to what is there. Seeing the blocks to empathy and “being with” we get stuck into with ourselves and others

GIna is also a dance teacher and a singer, so expect some singing, drumming and moving together for further body/mind integration and joy!.
