Tina, ‘Reclaiming LIFE for Collective Liberation’ 2025

“ Thank you Aya, Ruby, and Chi for organizing this course.

This has been very important to me. This course and the practices provided me with a great deal of strength via some hard times.

I am so grateful for the high quality of the participants in the Unfolding program. I especially loved my practice buddy, Fanny; we maintained our practice sessions roughly every two weeks, listening to one another and exploring our inner needs. It was truly nourishing for me. 

Whether in class or during practice, I felt deeply touched every time I heard those underlying, core needs. Regardless of the situation, everyone’s inner world felt like a place where I could empathize and resonate. Because of this, it feels as though people from all different backgrounds are connected. It’s quite subtle—even though our strategies may differ, the needs behind them are something we can all understand. Even when I discover that my needs are unmet, I can still mourn or look for different ways to meet them. It feels like a kind of magic, and I am so glad to have discovered it. 

Because I was so moved by this class—and because I am looking to build my own career and find my specialty and direction—I have continued my studies in NVC.

In our final class, a classmate shared a situation and Aya demonstrated how she can express to her child that mum realized her presence brought them a sense of security. She felt the need to keep learning, and as a full-time housewife of many years, that resonated with me deeply. I am also taking steps forward in my own learning journey.

Grateful to Unfolding, to Aya, Chi, and Ruby for bringing a new chapter to my life. I also hold a special place of gratitude in my heart for my practice buddy, Fanny. ”
