Living your Passion, Healing with Compassion 

a seven-day intensive with Robert Gonzales, Ph.D

The essence of living compassion is cultivating the beauty of our deepest self and restoring ourselves to this place of wholeness by compassionately transforming life experience when disconnected.  It is living the fundamental passion of our essential self and compassion in our challenges in life.
