Use this eight-step process to develop your self-empathy/regulation skills.

Explore compassion-based self-discovery through presence, aliveness and connection.

Learn how to move from blame to understanding when needs aren’t met.

In this inspiring audio, Mary takes to a more profound level the traditional NVC self-empathy process of identifying judgments, feelings and needs, by adding a "wrapping" component.

Jim and Jori discuss sharing power through exploring our experience of having and not having power, how we make choices about our power and examining our relationship to power itself.
