Today we are repurposing one of our favourite episodes.

Listen to Ava talk about an important tool of her personal development journey: Nonviolent Communication (NVC).

Communication is not about following a book formula or exercises, it is about ultimately embodying the principles of NVC and integrating the humanity in our conversations.

Ava discusses how and when nonviolent communication changed her life and the way you can change yours too. 

If you have any requests for upcoming podcasts we would love to hear from you!

Join Anaid in this guided cacao ceremony and meditation for abundance.

We start by grounding and relaxing the body to drink the cacao in ceremony and ritual.

During the meditation we share a common intention of connecting to the abundance available in the present moment. We seal off this practice with abundance affirmations.

A truly delightful self-care ritual! 

Take your time to prepare a cup of cacao or any ritual drink or food you'd like to connect with. Come back to this audio when you are in a comfortable space and ready to start the meditation.
