Presence Practice Group, Thursdays from 7-9:15pm in SE Portland

Vika Facilitates

Now OPEN for a limited number of new participants.

Having trouble “doing NVC” when you’re upset? We understand!  This “Presence Practice” group will help you develop the “presence muscles” you need to be able to witness and hold your own discomfort, distress, and reactivity with compassion, awareness, and response-ability — the foundations of authentic choice. Perfect for anyone longing to develop a greater capacity for mindfulness; for “turning towards” difficult emotions and releasing old, stuck pain and patterns from the past; and for being able to meet your own needs and remain at peace no matter the circumstances.

Prerequisites: Completion of a Basic Skills workshop or Foundations class within the past year OR read Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life by  Marshall Rosenberg before attending the first practice group session; AND a commitment to looking within for the source of your own reactivity or upsets.
