In this introductory workshop, we explored Four Direction Circle practices for Self-Connection: 1. Nonviolent Communication (NVC) Components, 2. Wild Mind Facets of Wholeness, based on work by Marshall Rosenberg, and Bill Plotkin respectively. This is an introduction to a 10-week series “Wholistic NVC” which extends NVC through nature-based Wild Mind depth psychology practices.

“Wholistic NVC” extends the internal practice of Nonviolent Communication through archetypal depth psychology by Bill Plotkin's Wild Mind, exploding the potential for self-connection and self-healing through cultivating wholeness practices. We'll explore the four facets of wholeness for expanded experiences of who we are and the resources available to us in every moment. The series also introduces how the facets of wholeness are used for self-healing, embracing one’s fragments/sub-personalities with compassion.

"It’s time to take another look at ourselves — to re-enliven our sense of what it is to be human, to breathe new life into ancient intuitions of who we are, and to learn again to celebrate, as we once did, our instinctive affinity with the Earth community in which we’re rooted. We’re called now to rediscover what it means to be human beings in a wildly diverse world of feathered, furred, and scaled fellow creatures; flowers and forests; mountains, rivers, and oceans; wind, rain, and snow; Sun and Moon. It’s time to take an ecological and holistic look at the human psyche, to make a fresh start with Western psychology." - excerpt from "Wild Mind" by Bill Plotkin

"Nonviolent Communication (NVC) is a way of focusing our attention on what's alive in order to facilitate compassionate giving and receiving." -- Marshall Rosenberg

"From now on, I choose to have my actions flow from connection with nature and to direct my attention where it supports this flow."

Marshall Rosenberg, excerpt from the poem "From Now On"

"Our human psyches possess astonishing resources that wait within us, but we might not even know they exist until we discover how to access them and cultivate their powers, their untapped potentials and depths. Wild Mind identifies these resources — which Bill Plotkin calls the four facets of the Self, or the four dimensions of our innate human wholeness — and also the four sets of fragmented or wounded subpersonalities that form during childhood. Rather than proposing ways to eliminate our subpersonalities (which is not possible) or to beat them into submission, Plotkin describes how to cultivate the four facets of the Self and discover the gifts of our subpersonalities." -  excerpt from the "Wild Mind" by Bill Plotkin
