Cultivating Nonviolent Self-Connection: A Spring Renewal Weekend (free)

Join our community for a self-guided weekend retreat to develop authentic inner connection and inner peace.

When you pause to reconnect with yourself, inner clarity emerges, self-judgment dissolves, and your authentic voice strengthens.

Spring is nature’s ideal time to renew your energy from within. This weekend experience provides the space and guidance to nurture a more compassionate relationship with yourself—the foundation of all nonviolent connection with others.

Taking time to renew, reconnect, and restore rewires your brain. When you use your mind to connect deeply with yourself without judgment, your feelings and actions naturally shift toward greater empathy. Your relationship with yourself is reflected in every interaction you have with others. True nonviolent communication begins within.

What others have experienced

“Your voice immediately puts me in a state of calm. I recall your voice during the day when I feel stress and it helps me relax immediately.”

“I came in feeling depleted and overwhelmed. I left with renewed energy AND a completely new relationship to myself and how I approach challenges.”

“Within minutes, I can go from feeling jittery and restless to completely calm. The challenge showed me that kind of shift is possible.”

Join our community of practitioners nurturing nonviolent relationships with themselves and others. Leadership is an inside job. To relate to others in a way that you are satisfied with, you first need to develop that relationship within yourself.
