Warm New Year Greetings from Gina
I hope you too have enjoyed a break and festivities with friends and family or a quiet time for reflection. For those of us in the northern hemisphere I do enjoy the way the dark days and the time in between the holidays provide an ideal time for celebration and mourning of the year past and for strategically thinking about the year ahead. I hope 2012 will bring you all peace, happiness and health and that I will see many of you at one event or another.
I have taken the opportunity to plan ahead and am excited to be offering two new series of events. These are outlined directly below followed by a range of other events in date order. There is something for everyone at all stages/levels of NVC knowledge and skills. I delight in the variety this programme offers and I hope you will find something that attracts you. An update on filming of the NVC Dance Floors follows the programme and you will find booking details below that.
As ever, I am also open to and look forward to requests to run events in your area, tailor something for your organisation or provide one to one coaching.

Four further deepening days
For those of you with 2 days or more NVC training, these 4 days will assist in deepening and developing your NVC skills. They can be taken as stand-alone workshops or as a block of two or more.
Just Listen to Yourself Monday 19 March
Deepen your self empathy practice as an essential foundation for incorporating NVC into the ups and downs of your everyday life. This day will provide loads of practice opportunities and use of the Self Empathy Dance Floor.
What’s Holding You Back? Saturday 5 May
Discover more about the core beliefs that are holding you back from living life to the full and start to transform them. Core jackal beliefs are often present when we find ourselves painfully triggered and unable to access our NVC skills; e.g. ‘I’m not worthy’, ‘I can’t trust anyone’, ‘the world is not safe’. We will work with your own situations and learn a process you can take forward.
From Misery to Magic Sunday 23 September
A chance to experience transformation of some deep pain that may be following you around and to learn first hand the power of the Dance Floor “Transforming the Pain of Unmet Needs into the Beauty of Needs”.
Happy Christmas??? Thursday 6 December
The festive season is full of opportunities for triggers e.g. the pressure to buy presents, be with family and be happy. This, combined with the darkest days of the year can lead to loss of our giraffe consciousness and misery. This day will focus on putting strategies into place to keep those giraffe ears on!

Filming the NVC Dance Floors
You may recall that Bridget and I are celebrating the dream of having the NVC Dance Floors accessible to many more people through film getting closer. The filming is now all done and the hard work of editing etc now begins in order to produce a short intro film and 3 in-depth DVD’s one on each of the 13 Step Dance, The Self Empathy Dance and the Anger Dance. We are very grateful for all the hard work of the production team and to those of you who have donated already to make this possible. We would love to receive more financial support so that expenses and a basic payment for the cameraman can be covered. In exchange we offer you a free DVD, when they are ready. You can read more and see a short film about the project here: http://nvcdancefloors.com/#/the-film/4553060822
