As you luxuriate at Hale Akua Garden Farm, our beautiful eco-retreat with spectacular views, you will have a chance to greatly expand your capacity to love, both yourself and others.
Whether you are new or experienced in Compassionate Communication (NVC), you will enhance your communication skills by incorporating body awareness into your life more fully. We call that Embodied Compassionate Communication (ECC). You will become more empathic with yourself and others and more centered in your body. You will also be able to understand others better by reading their body signals. Some of the body awareness work we will teach you includes Gestalt awareness work, Aikido centering movements, subtle breathwork and body reading. This will be incorporated into your centering practice and role-playing work using ECC.
Embodied Compassionate Communication work will enable you to:
~ Practice self-empathy more deeply and more quickly.
~ Be able to make requests of yourself that are do-able, that you can trust.
~ Tune into your feelings and needs so you can know more clearly what you want from yourself and others.
~ Understand and empathize more fully with the needs of others.
~ Assure others more effectively that you have heard and understood them.
~ Arrive at win-win agreements more quickly.
All of these skills are necessary to have a really successful relationship of any kind!
In addition to Embodied Compassionate Communication, we have many other wonderful offerings, presented by our very skilled team members, including Sexual Energetics I and II (Lori Grace); Opening Ceremony, Romancing the Beloved and Venus and Mars in our Charts (Joan & Tomas Heartfield); Sound Healing and Ho'oponopono (Heather Salmon & Donny Regal); Self-Loving Meditation (Evalena Rose); Conscious Sensuality (Robert Silber); Whole Body Massage for Couples (Mark Brown & Merrilynn White); Sacred Sensual Dance (Francesca Gentille); Morning Yoga Practice (Lakshmi Luster); a Spiritually-Oriented Puja (Lori); an Organic Gardening Intro; and more!
