What is WHEEL?
WHEEL is a Nonviolent Communication immersion, with a deep dive into self inquiry, embodiment and being the change you want to be in the world.
The depth of this work is a radical paradigm shift with significant realignments in how you see and interact with the world.
WHEEL offers the opportunity to be a part of a common thread, to step into self responsibility for our experience in life and to be of service to others with the gift of empathy, presence and self empowerment.
WHEEL includes an embodied exploration of what triggers you in life. You will increase your awareness of how you respond to triggers and expand your ability to respond consciously to them. Retreats will include somatic processes and the use of movement and music as tools for connecting with our feelings and shifting emotional states.
