The Lead your Life program is the result of years of experiencing the power of IFS for myself and for many participants in my NVC practice groups, workshops and coaching and mentoring sessions. This program brings together in my view the two most powerful practical, accessible process that have been developed over the last 30 years that enable us to live truly compassionate lifes in connection with ourselves, our communities and with our environment. IFS is complentary to NVC in many ways and its systemic approach of our inner and outer system provides a very natural and everyday way of living compassionately.
The Lead Your Life program integrates the fundamental and relevant aspects of IFS in many of our NVC practices. It will enable you to take the lead of your own life, a Self-lead life of your inner world, of your parts, and of your relationships with others by developing understanding of, and balance and harmony in, your inner system. This program aims to discover and unleash all the beautiful and valuable qualities of our inner world.
This 2-day Foundation module has very interactive structure to maximise individual explorations.
Practice sessions
There will be a complimentary 1.5 hour practice session after day one and after day two of the course.
Practice group
There is a monthly, complimentary, online practice available to join after the course. We have in both English and in Italian an active practice group with about 100 participants.
Follow-up workshops available
I have been running this course now for three years in Italian and English and it has been received by all participants as being very inspiring, very practically applicable and very transformational in their life’s.
A few examples of received feedback:
“I so appreciate you integrating these two bodies of knowledge, it is a total game changer for me. I completely now see what you were saying about how 1+1=3 with this, I have been integrating NVC for two years now and the combination of IFS with NVC is HUGE potent for me. You have literally changed my life.”
“I am still “landing” after the amazing group experience. The handouts are very helpful. It’s apparent, to me, that lots of thought, knowledge and experience combined to simplify concepts that can be complex.”
“Thank you condensing so clearly the essence of the IFS work, with easy language, images and examples and the marrying with NVC ! What great breakout exercises and well chosen group. For me it’s an internal transformation in the last few weeks which have been the result of your coaching and this intense process.”
