” Aya’s workshop invited me to process the steps of Nonviolent Communication very slowly, layer by layer. The repairing work showed me how to approach more challenging situations in my relationships. Slowing down between those steps allowed me to understand my responsibility in each one . Her work reminded me of the narrative often imposed on us, where everyone is either guilty or a victim for some reason and rarely responsible and that what struck me the most to realize that non-violent communication is not just a four-step technique. Instead, when we are ready to move to a more heartfelt place and embrace the innocence of ourselves it becomes something we naturally live and we get ready to share that innocence field with other beings…I’m also grateful for the chance to experience how Aya welcomed an impact in real time during our session—it created a field of love honesty and connection. “
