Live From Your Heart, 90-Day Program

Living from our head allows our inner critics to run our lives. Their judgments may generate shame, guilt, anger, and even depression.

Alternatively, living from our heart supports compassion, connection, love and clarity about our needs.

Learn effective tools to support heart-based living and how to successfully navigate the “longest distance in the world”-from your head to your heart.

This 90-Day Program in Heart-Based Communication (NVC) will support you to:

Befriend your inner critics, so you can deepen connection and compassion for, and with, self and others
Create a legacy of healthy relating for your children by modeling healthy relating while reducing conflict
Reduce shame, guilt, anger, depression and overwhelm by finding purpose in your feelings
Learn to express yourself clearly and authentically so you can eliminate regret
Make decisions with ease and grace

These groups provide support to learn and practice communication skills, while fostering rich relationships in a safe and supportive online community. Each week, for 12 weeks, we will read, do exercises, and share experiences, while working with the chapters in two corresponding books**.

Live From Your Heart, Part 1

Covers Chapters 1-6 and involves learning the basic structure and components of the NVC Model, as developed by Marshall Rosenberg, PhD . Chapters 1-6 include the following topics: Giving from the heart, Communication that blocks compassion, Observing without evaluating, Identifying and expressing feelings, Taking responsibility for our feelings, and Requesting that which would enrich life.

Live From Your Heart, Part 2

Builds on Part 1 and covers Chapters 7-13 . We focus on applying the information learned in the first six weeks in our lives and our relationships. Classes may include role-plays, empathy sessions and live interactions, in addition to learning the material in Chapters 7-14. Chapters 7-14 include the following topics: Receiving empathically, The power of empathy, Connecting compassionately with ourselves, Expressing anger fully, Conflict resolution and mediation, The protective use of force, Liberating ourselves and counseling others, and Expressing appreciation in NVC.
Live From Your Heart, Foundations Part I is a pre-requisite for this class.

“My intention for this class was, among other things, to become more open-hearted and to have compassion for others.

I’m not sure how it did that, but I have noticed a subtle shift in my feelings and behavior-feeling calmer; less judgmental; less angry.

Becoming aware of my feelings and needs pre-empts feelings of judgment and blame.”

“You’re an inspiration, Terri! I’m thinking of doing this again You’re not rid of me yet :)”

Susanna C. Sebastopol, CA

It feels “good to have empathy guesses directed at me-the opposite of judgment and alienation.”

“The way you stayed with people emotionally tonight, when they were struggling made me feel hopeful in the effectiveness of NVC. I felt you also kept the meeting on track as well.”

Monique D., Santa Rosa, CA

“I learned that I could be vulnerable and when i did, I was encouraged, seen, and got that my needs so matter. In doing so, I also experienced solutions!”

“There are more options in life than I think! With connection, there are more solutions that can emerge!”

“I’m opening my heart more to receive appreciations more deeply from others and from myself!”

“Terri brings effectiveness and aliveness to the class. I enjoy her enthusiasm and the way she includes everyone. I appreciate the pauses and deep listening Terri gives each of us-which feels warm.”

Diane F., Santa Rosa, CA
