The world we have inherited, internalised and continue to reproduce is one of increasing polarisation, violence and separation. We find ourselves competing with each other for rightness, resources, and belonging in our families and communities, on social media, and in the world.
Join Sophie for these 3 days to develop and embody a nonviolent approach that offers a way to meet tension, stress, and stuckness with empathy and boundaries, to create meaningful connection. The approach we will share offers a pathway to a compassionate consciousness that can transform your relationship with yourself, others and the world.
Whether you are looking through the lens of family, parenting or personal relationships or with a professional focus, this course can help you grow warm, empowering, collaborative relationships and lead for the world you would like to live in.
During this course, you will learn and practice skills to:
- Move from right/wrong deficit thinking and the blame game, into compassion for yourself and others
- Express yourself with authenticity whilst holding compassionate boundaries
- Listen with empathy and curiosity whilst staying in your power, even when you disagree with what you hear.
- Shift life-limiting beliefs and programs you are running
- Transform rather than transfer behaviours you have inherited
- Grow your capacity to engage with tension and stress in a collaborative, connected way.
