John Kinyon, Certified NVC Trainer: Anger is one of the feelings that tell us we are thinking in a way in which we are disconnected from our needs; and from the Source of life within us; and in a way that is almost guaranteed to not create the connection and cooperation to meet our needs. It also seems to be a reaction tied strongly into the fight-flight survival response at the core of our biology as living organisms. For this reason transforming anger is a key practice for returning to conscious presence and connection with self and others when triggered into a reaction. This ability is based in learnable skills and may also be key to our survival as human beings. Join John Kinyon to learn this essential life skill through the Enemy Image Process and Learning/Growth Spiral.
