4. Video of the fortnight
This fortnight’s video is a TEDx talk by Robert Kržišnik on personal growth, with a glimpse of his clarity, depth and humour.“The world can only be saved if we dare to strip naked and interact with each other from the place of vulnerability.”“I don’t want to waste my life on trying to stay safe. I think I want to engage. I want to stand in the fire of life and fully, directly experience it.”
“Nonviolent Communication for me is about a profound, intimate journey.”
5. Upcoming event alert
The first Living Bridges workshop of the quarter is this weekend and addresses the foundation of Nonviolent Communication and self-compassion practices: self-empathy.
Self-empathy can help us turn towards our own experience with warmth and compassion. And this capacity to witnessing our own experience can lead us towards more clarity and choice.
Join Irmtraud Kauschat’s workshop on self empathy this weekend (5-7.15PM) to learn how you can begin building this capacity.
