September 27 – 29, 2019

We live our human lives in a constant state of celebration and mourning for that which we love. And yet many of us have been taught to stay away from the grief and the mourning around our losses. We often believe that we are supposed to grieve alone, rather than burdening others with our sadness. In contrast to this belief, in neurobiological reality, our grief is richest when we are able to grieve together. Many of us know the sustaining and healing powers of practicing gratitude. This too, supports the healing cycle of grief and mourning. NVC offers an added richness to the practices of gratitude that we already know and use, as well as lending it’s frame to develop a few more. Whether you’ve done a lot of NVC gratitude or this is new to you, you are welcome.

LIGHTEN YOUR LOAD OF ANGER, EMOTIONAL HURT AND PAIN.

Almost all of us travel with “baggage” – anger, emotional hurt and pain from the past. It is a normal part of being human. The 3-day Reconciliation and Healing learning community intensive integrates Nonviolent Communication (NVC), mindfulness, a mediation framework, and neuroscience to help you heal emotional hurt within yourself, create reconciliation between yourself and another, and help others do this.

PLAN TO BE HAPPY.

What is the source of your anguish and hurt? Maybe you feel a longtime resentment against another person, living or deceased. Or maybe someone else perceives you as the cause of their pain. In either case, relief is within reach.

TUITION

Philosophy of Money
The pricing below is what I (John) would like to receive to support this work and my sustainability. However, because I see this work being for the greater good of humanity and all people and communities, and because I want to support a monetary system based in giving and receiving from the meaning and enjoyment of contributing to one another’s well being, you are free to give what feels right to you. My request is that you stretch yourself to give as much as you’re willing and able to give. Not only will this support me and this work, I believe it will support you to receive the most benefit and value from doing the work. If you would like to give an amount different from what is listed below, email: connect@mediateyourlife.com, or call (415) 710-2777. Thank you for wanting to be part of this work in the world!

A Workshop for Those Who Suffer and for Those Who Love Them

September 22-23, 2018
Nashville, TN

In an ideal world, our emotional needs are met with warmth and understanding from the earliest age. For many of us, this is not the case. Instead we experience loneliness, internal conflicts and overwhelming emotional pain. Addictions and choiceless behaviors often become the brain’s creative strategies for survival.

Sarah Peyton, a certified trainer with the Center for Nonviolent Communication, will teach us how to disentangle nervous system wiring which keeps us locked in these unhealthy patterns. Join us to experience the way Sarah’s innovative work can support the healing process.

During the workshop, we will explore:

• The connection between the latest brain research and the “decisions” we make that lead us toward and away from addictions and compulsions;
• How to counteract old patterns to support healthy decision making;
• How to leverage our own empathy skills to bring ourselves relief.
