A Woman's Heart, A Journey of Self Discover


  • Carlene Lizana-Maginnis, Nonviolent Communication Nashville Carlene@CarleneMaginnis.com (map)

A few years back, I offered several ONGO Groups. The study written by Catherine Cadden and Jesse Wiens offers practices in NVC where the embodiment of the living energy of NVC is experienced. I've often thought of a particular group comprised of women in ONGO and remember the richness found within the depth of sharing. This time, I'm offering a group called

A Woman's Heart.

The curriculum that will guide us are known in NVC as the Core Commitments.

These commitments have a long history of becoming! I was lucky to be a part of a community in the early 2000's called the CTC, Consciousness Transformation Community facilitated by Miki Kastan, one of my teachers in life. We began with 17 Core Commitments of Living NVC originated by Miki and her sister Inbal. I found those years in CTC to be formative in my learning and living NVC. 

Back in the day, we had Teleconferencing to aid in our connection! With only the sound of our voices and the open sharing of our hearts, women from all over the world experienced deepening connections with one another. It was a rich experience that I long to taste again in the pilot offering called 

A Woman's Heart.

And lucky we are to now have Zoom where we can see one another!

Here's a sample of a commitment we will explore:
A commitment relating to myself:
Even when I act in ways I really don't like, I aim to keep my heart open to myself. If I find myself in self-judgment and unable to connect to my needs, I aim to seek support to reconnect to myself and hold with compassion the needs motivating my actions.


The group will be limited to 13 women and will meet Tuesday evenings, 6:30 - 8:30 pm for 8 weeks beginning November 8 and the 15th, we'll meet as a large group.
Following Nov. 8, we'll meet the 2nd/4th Tuesday as a large group and small groups will meet in the off weeks. Each woman will be invited to welcome a commitment into their life for self examination and discovery. We'll explore the first 25.
