“Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that."
– Martin Luther King, Jr.

The Open Heart Series explores how a compassionate spirit coupled with nonviolent communication principles can transform our lives. These experiential training have defined structures for the mind, feelings exploration for the heart, and kinesthetic activities for the body.

This integration of mind, heart, and body, held in compassionate awareness, is designed to produce a sense of wholeness where we are able to welcome who we are unconditionally and experience our totality. We then recognize our kinship with others; our relationships and quality of life deepens, and aliveness burns brightly within the present moment.

Cultivating Inner Peace:
Listening for the loving intention behind every action.

Resolve difficult situations respectfully.
Transform adversaries into allies.
Learn how to heal inner conflict.

When we perceive a world of winners and losers, we live in conflict. We naturally strive to dominate so we don't have to submit. We experience the conflict in our inner world as well as perceive it in the world around us.

When we learn to perceive in terms of win-win, power with, not power over, we naturally want to contribute to each other's well-being. Common ground becomes apparent, defensiveness dissolves, and we listen to each other. Often, conflict evaporates, or can at least be addressed peacefully. We experience inward calm and security.

The way we treat others is a reflection of the way we treat ourselves. When we learn to communicate compassionately with ourselves, we begin to hear the motivations and love behind our own self criticisms and destructive behaviors: we begin to make peace with who we are, transforming our relationships with family, friends, colleagues, and adversaries. Peace resides at the center of our being. Radiating outward, it heals our world, revealing the loving intentions that surround us.
