The Compassion Course Online with Thom Bond | |
|
June 23rd, 2021 through June 22nd, 2022 "For anyone who wants to have more compassion, understanding and harmony in their lives and in our world” As we humans have developed other technologies, the technology of compassion has been developed too. This course provides the “how to” of creating more connection, understanding, and compassion in our daily lives – a way to create a world we will be happy to leave our children’s children. The work is challenging, at times confronting, and with perseverance, practice, focus, and dedication, it works. What You’ll Learn:

Communication as a Powerful Force for Change - Rachelle Lamb | |

Any communication model that helps
us to consciously choose productive
responses instead of resorting to
alienating knee-jerk responses is
worth exploring. |

Fear - Jori Manske | |
|
Walking quickly and alone along a wooded path at the conference center, I heard heavy footsteps and I felt a stab of fear. I looked up to see a deer about 20 feet away on the hill. I felt relief and connected to the beauty of the life around me. Reflecting, I realized that I feared for my safety from another person who might be in the woods and might possibly want to harm me - one of US! |

Nonviolent Communication™ and Restorative Justice | |
|
|
|
|
“Restorative justice is based on the question: how do we restore peace? In other words, how do we restore a state in which people care about one another’s well-being?” |

New Course from Ike Lasater | |
|
Collaborating in the Workplace | |
|
|
|
|
We recently sat down with Ike to learn more about the new course and what the PuddleDancer community, in particular, can learn from it. We got answers to questions like: "Why will this course be of special interest for people already familiar with NVC?" and "Why do you think it is important to share NVC skills with the business community?"

Songs | |
|
For everybody who has ever had a ‘four legged furry baby’ aka dog (I have had several and have only experienced unconditional love with all of them.) Rainbow Bridge (below the song) is a beautiful poem about where our pets go when they pass and when we will be with them again. | |
|
At the Rainbow Bridge | |
|
|
|
|
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. By the edge of a wood, at the foot of a hill, is a lush, green meadow where time stands still. Where the friends of man and woman do run, when their time on earth is over and done. For here, between this world and the next, is a place where each beloved creature finds rest. On this golden land, they wait and they play, till the Rainbow Bridge they cross over one day. No more do they suffer, in pain or in sadness, for here they are whole, their lives filled with gladness. Their limbs are restored, their health renewed, their bodies have healed, with strength imbued. They romp through the grass, without even a care, until one day they stop, and sniff at the air. All ears prick forward, eyes dart front and back, then all of a sudden, one breaks from the pack. For just at that instant, their eyes have met; Together again, both person and pet. So they run to each other, these friends from long past, the time of their parting is over at last. The sadness they felt while they were apart, has turned into joy once more in each heart. They embrace with a love that will last forever, and then, side-by-side, they cross over.......together!!! | |
