So many people attending an NVC event come home inspired and longing to live what has been seeded; to begin to let NVC entwine itself within our day to day lives with all this might offer... Mentoring is a very real relationship that has been an integral part of social life for years. At its best, mentoring inspires mutual growth and learning and can offer significant and enduring experiences for life. NVC family mentorship brings myself and possibly Jas to you in your home or offers time for you and your family - or some of your family  - to be hosted here with us at our home in West Wales.  We can take a day, a few days, a week etc all at a time and date to suit us all.   Our focus is learning through a ‘lived’ NVC experience  - 'slowed down' live support across all areas of family life, including cooking and home caring together  - an alongsided-ness that we will cultivate together within the paradigm of NVC. We welcome anyone wanting to practice, learn live, ask questions, share, and 'try things out' ! What we 'do' will emerge live based on what is needed; you may have attended an introduction, watched the videos or more  and want to explore more fully what it is all about. We imagine laughter, learning, tears, questions, engagement, time for validating what we grapple with, fun, games, insight and new understandings... Our days together are a chance to come together and learn from one another, lean into one another, practice kindness and care and see what happens when we 'let love entwine itself around our concerns and expand the chink through which we view the world' (Mark Nepo) NVC and Restorative practices have been the backbone of our family, community and working life for nearly 10 years.  We have between us 5 children who we primarily home/non schooled and we have one granddaughter..:) Please contact gayano on 01558 650747 or gayano@ymail.com to explore further... thank you :)

Mark Nepo - EXQUISITE RISK - Daring to Live an Authentic Life:  But how do we listen? It is so simple and so hard. So obvious to begin and so elusive to maintain. In this lies the vitality of deep listening. To keep beginning. Over and over. To keep emptying and opening. And simply to keep listening. For to listen is to continually give up all expectation and to give our attention, completely and freshly, to what is before us, not really knowing what we will hear or what that will mean. In the practice of our days, to listen is to lean in, softly, with a willingness to be changed by what we hear."
