David Weinstock, Returning to Houston!! 

Join us in welcoming David Weinstock, CNVC certified trainer and Aikido instructor back to Houston!! For three days in March 2020. Practice embodying nonviolence through movement and play. Whole mind/body/linguistic practice, engaged over time, is where we come face to face with the history we’ve embodied, our deeper selves, our most profound gifts, and the motivation to connect more compassionately in the world.

  • Develop your empathic listening faculties
  • Cultivate a centered presence in stressful times;
  • Make decisions and take actions that align with your values;
  • Nurture intimate connections and cultivate community

David Weinstock is an international trainer of Nonviolent Communication, a Somatic Coach, Aikido instructor and author of “Becoming What You Need”: Practices for Embodying Nonviolent Communication”. He leads trainings --locally and around the world—in his community, schools, prisons, businesses and organizations. David and his wife Judith, along with 8 other families, co-founded an intentional community where they have raised their family since 1990. All of David’s work--in particular his present organization, Liminal Somatics--is based on building our connection to one another and toward a healthy stewardship of the earth for generations to come.       www.liminalsomatics.com

“I felt so touched, embraced by that essence of NVC through you, movement and experiential learning being center-stage. The learning environment you created was deeply nurturing and supported us living in the practice.”      ~Lucy Leu, author of The NVC Workbook.
