“Through that one-pointedness [of chanting], one can merge in the Divine Being and experience the bliss of one’s true self. By letting the mind expand in the sound of divine chanting, each one of us can enjoy the peace born of one’s inherent divinity.”

We are happy to present an upcoming workshop in Nonviolent Communication (NVC) and we invite you to join!
INTIMATE RELATIONSHIPS
With CNVC-certified trainer Yoram Mosenzon
Weekend of October 14 – 15, in Amsterdam
NVC is the art of communication. It offers simple, practical tools that radically transform your relationship with yourself and others. It cultivates assertive honesty mixed with deep empathy, allowing us to transform conflicts into love and clarity.
We will focus on themes such as:
Group:
In an interactive and safe learning environment we will focus on examples from our own life. We will practice NVC through demonstrations, role-plays, and exercises to integrate these tools into our daily situations.
Assistants:
Some assistants will be present to accompany us during the course, in order to give extra personal attention. These are well-trained people who have followed many NVC Courses and are becoming trainers themselves.
About Yoram Mosenzon, CNVC certified trainer, Coach, and a Mediator:
Yoram was a dancer/choreographer when he came across NVC in 2003. He eventually phased out his artistic endeavours in order to fully dedicate his time and energy to sharing NVC. Yoram now leads workshops in schools, universities, businesses, and with individual groups throughout Europe, Israel/Palestine, and the United States.
