is an international trainer of Nonviolent Communication, a Somatic Coach, and author of “Becoming What You Need”: Practices for Embodying Nonviolent Communication”. He has brought his leadership, community, and team-building trainings to a wide audience in schools, prisons, organizations, and businesses around the world. He is a respected master goldsmith(www.goldmuse.net). He is an Aikido instructor and co-founder of Peace Dojos International, an organization that works for peace and justice by means of community service and training for self-mastery distilled from the martial arts.
All of David’s work--in particular his present organization, Liminal Somatics(www.liminalsomatics.com)--is committed to developing our capacity to value what each of us brings to the circle, to reclaim community and appreciate the necessity of honoring diversity for the sake of creating a nurturing world for generations to come.
David and his wife Judith co-founded an intentional community with eight other families in 1990. We came together committed to developing our capacity to value what each of us brings to the circle, to reclaim community and value diversity for the sake of creating a nurturing world for generations to come. To this day the community has practiced consensus decision-making and embraced NVC foundations. We are now a four-generation community with adult children that were born and raised here.
Thanks for such a heart opening workshop! The Somatics and Aikido really resonated with me, and “fleshed out” (pun intended) the NVC “training wheels” I’d been learning. I love that you are into sharing this work. I can think of so many friends who would love your work. I’m excited to practice with my husband Jack, and with friends who are interested.
David is one of those rare teachers who tune in completely to his audience. You feel heard, seen and empowered through his work and that is a great gift. His skill as an Aikido master blends forcefully with his creative program of Somatic Consensus. You leave with a deep awareness of your own embodied habits, and exciting new skills to help you return to center, stay neutral in crisis, and lead with your heart. I can’t recommend him and his workshops highly enough.”
The feeling is so subtle that I can’t be sure, but I have the feeling that changes are already happening inside/through my body and my being as a whole. Like it is more aligned and that the whole body is engaging in decision making processes, a better equilibrium between the rational mind, the feelings and the instinct…
The session is very meaningful and exciting for me. Gives me a sense of integration & deepening for what we’ve done together so far + provides me a possibility for a multi-dimensional practice. Thank you
I couldn’t recommend this subtly powerful journey into ourselves more highly. I am still discovering so many riches from it daily. Thanks always to David and our beautiful group
This course will put you in touch with another world within yourself and others.
It´s great to drop in everyday during a month to a group of people who have similar interest in learning. I experienced several ways to integrate NVC with body and those techniques are easy and powerful.
This group has been a lifeline for me in this time! I have found such deep value in practicing empathy and cultivating the qualities that I would like more of in my life. I feel so held by the group and David.
NVC is not the same before and after this course - It shifted such an important inner-work of centering and finding deeper balance within the everyday life.
