This workshop is an invitation to embody compassion in your daily life — to connect with yourself and others from a grounded, heart-centered presence. Through movement, mindfulness, empathy practice, and deep exploration of needs, you’ll learn how to cultivate compassion not only as a concept, but as a living experience in your body. We’ll explore how compassion can move through you — not as an effort to be “good” or “kind,” but as a natural response that flows when you are fully present. Whether you are new to Compassionate Communication or have been practicing for years, this workshop will meet you where you are — offering a unique opportunity to learn from international NVC trainer Mironel de Wilde and CNVC certified trainer Myriam Verzat. WHAT IS THIS WORK BASED ON? The workshop is rooted in Nonviolent Communication (NVC), a body of work developed by Marshall Rosenberg that combines the clarity of language with the depth of inner transformation. It integrates NVC practices with somatic awareness, movement, and mindfulness — helping you embody the consciousness of compassion rather than just understand it intellectually. WHAT IS THE INTENTION? This workshop will help you: Experience compassion as a bodily and emotional state, not just a concept Bring more ease and warmth into your relationships Transform painful emotions into learning and connection Strengthen your capacity to stay present and open in the face of tension Develop a deep sense of inner safety and self-trust WHAT IS THE APPROACH? The workshop will be highly experiential — a blend of teaching, reflection, movement, and practice. After each concept is introduced, you’ll have the opportunity to apply it through exercises, role plays, and embodied practices. Mironel and Myriam both bring creativity and warmth to their facilitation, weaving together movement, mindfulness, and NVC principles to create a safe, engaging, and deeply human learning space. No prior experience with NVC or somatic work is necessary — all levels are welcome.

We have a supported price to help people participate who couldn't otherwise. And I know this amount of money is not easily available for everyone. If you contribute more you help someone else come to the workshop who couldn't otherwise. Consider paying less on the scale if you. - are supporting children or have other dependents - have significant debt - have medical expenses not covered by insurance - receive public assistance - have immigration-related expenses - are an elder with limited financial support - are an unpaid community organizer - are a returning citizen who has been denied work due to incarceration history Consider paying more on the scale if you: - own the home you live in - have investments, retirement accounts, or inherited money - travel recreationally - have access to family money and resources in times of need - work part time by choice - have a relatively high degree of earning power due to level of education (or gender and racial privilege, class background, etc.) Even if you are not currently exercising your earning power, I ask you to recognize this as a choice. If the supported price is still a barrier, please communicate with us, we can find creative ways for you to contribute. *********** ABOUT THE FACILITATORS MYRIAM VERZAT Myriam is a CNVC (cnvc.org) certified trainer in NonViolent Communication based in Nanaimo, BC, Canada.
