“Living the Fullness of Life” with Robert Gonzales

Robert Gonzales

Robert’s passion is in the spirituality of the NVC process. He sees NVC both as a process that helps people to connect more authentically with ourselves and others, and as a spiritual practice and way of living.

Robert Gonzales received a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology in 1989. He met Marshall Rosenberg and Nonviolent Communication in 1985, and has been offering Nonviolent Communication training in some form since 1986. His original training is as a licensed psychotherapist.

Robert is one of a team of NVC trainers, the NVC Training Institute, who offer in-depth and continuing NVC training in the United States and Europe.

He has offered Nonviolent Communication training for community colleges, high schools, churches, social workers, psychologists, mediators, teenagers, and public groups. He has taught psychology, counseling and communication at Prescott College, a liberal arts college. Robert opened the Prescott Center for Nonviolent Communication in Prescott, Arizona in June, 2000. He now is director of the Center for Living Compassion.

Robert is past President of the board of directors for the Center for Nonviolent Communication. He is a certified trainer for the Center for Nonviolent Communication and a former trainer at NVC Intensive International Trainings. He is a former assessor in North America for certifying NVC Trainers.

In 2006, Robert launched the NVC LIFE Program which is a multi-year, advanced intensive study program designed to deepen and integrate NVC consciousness into everyday life.

Robert is available to lead NVC trainings and can be reached through the NVC Training Institute or the Prescott Center for Nonviolent Communication.

Your wisdom and the way you understand the needs is a unique gift that is now reaching an audience around the world, and I do feel the hand of spirit working in all of this Robert. Anytime we want to, we can read the postings or write to the community and get support and insights from like minded souls. And to have this virtual community during these interesting times is a joyfully unexpected surprise. Those of us who live at a distance from NVC centers have been hungry for this type of support for years. And you have given us not only an opportunity to be with you as a trainer through the webcasts, but also to have a support system for deepening the learning. Thank you for following your dream and for creating this new strategy for learning and community.

Thank you for bringing this deep teaching and learning opportunity to those who cannot travel to do a retreat with you Robert. Robert your embodiment of deep compassion really came through the audio and visual format. I feel so hopeful and full of life being connected, in this way, to how far reaching this format is and what it means to those who are included.

With a happy grateful heart,

Aloha,

The processes Robert develops and offers in his trainings go directly to the heart of the question:

“How do we embody the consciousness that NVC points to and live every moment of every day in the fullness of compassion for ourselves and others?”

Robert will share what is currently unfolding in his teaching, what new inspirations come to him, and what he’s currently passionate about. Some of the ideas he is exploring may not be totally new, however new aspects come to him regularly, spiraling to new depths of clarity and understanding.

There are three key areas of focus in Robert’s work that he will share in this series.

The Importance of living in the flow of life. How do we cultivate and live from a consciousness of the fullness of our essential nature, rather than the deficiency consciousness of judgment, blame and disconnection? How do we live each and every day from the “living energy of needs” – with the unimpeded fullness of life’s energies flowing through us, regardless of the conflicts or life circumstances we may be experiencing?

Developing deep self compassion. How can we experience our inner world from a place of utter and total compassion? When we practice compassionate self-care, we create an inner spaciousness that allows our life’s energies to flow. In that spaciousness both healing and inner transformation occurs.

Robert’s work explores the interweaving of two co-intentions—to live life from the fullness of the “beauty of needs” and to approach every experience with deep compassion.

The magic of meeting in a space of mutuality. When two people come together in the consciousness of mutual valuing of needs the co-creation of an entirely new and distinct entity emerges. Out of shared mutuality of needs, the “I and you” becomes this new entity of “us.” The deeply transformative power of living compassion in relationships is an area that Robert currently finds the most inspiring and is excited to share with Living the Fullness of Life subscribers.

The NVC Academy is excited to offer a program that puts you directly in touch with the leading edge work of one of NVC’s most prominent CNVC certified trainers, Robert Gonzales.

Dates: April 1 - September 30, 2010

New recorded webcasts will be posted in your online classroom the first day of each month. Once the webcast is placed in your classroom, you may watch it from your computer or download it to your iPod or other equipment.
New Q&A with Robert will be posted in your online classroom once or twice each month (the frequency of Robert's response to Q&A questions depends on when questions are posted by subscribers and Robert's travel schedule. We suspect that it will not be possible for Robert to answer all questions. Therefore, he will attempt to answer questions that the largest number of people asked and those that he believes will best support the subscribers of the program.).
Daily Reflections will be received in your email every day.
Participation in the online forum is available to you 24/7 on an ongoing basis.

Fee: $89.00 USD
