” I truly love the name “Reclaiming Wholeness – The Core Spirit of Nonviolent Communication.” Wholeness already lives within us. This course guides us, through the practice of Nonviolent Communication, to first integrate our inner world, build connection in relationships, see systems and the whole, and live out our interdependence with all life. Although it is only an eight-week course, the depth and richness of the content are truly remarkable.
The course helped me gain much greater clarity about its content and the core spirit of Nonviolent Communication: reclaiming our innocence, flow and joy, authenticity and vulnerability, freedom and choice, and interdependence. It strengthened my belief in the possibility of living a life of true freedom and choice, love and compassion. At the same time, through collaborative reflection, deep learning, and co-creation with peers, we supported one another and worked together, which greatly deepened my understanding and application of the material. I also developed a stronger connection and more communication with Aya, receiving abundant nourishment and growth.
What deeply impressed me was Aya’s care and attention toward the entire class and each individual. With both strength and compassion, she holds the needs of the whole group. After class, she carefully reads participants’ messages, sensitively noticing unmet needs that require care, and invites collaborators to follow up. At the same time, she remains a strong source of support—caring for learners in the course while also supporting the growth of the collaborators.
In Aya, you can feel the two “wings” of Nonviolent Communication: one is the power of truth, vulnerability, and honest expression; the other is care and compassion—together creating a sense of balance and freedom in flight. “
