Susan believes that one way of promoting global peace is through the practice of inner peace. She believes that the energy that each of us emanates contributes to the overall energy of the planet.
Through her study of Nonviolent Communication (NVC)
Susan has found a tool to help her meet her needs for learning and growth, consciousness and awareness.
For the past 8 years Susan has dedicated much personal time practicing empathy.
Susan offers private Empathy Sessions in New Paltz. At these one hour sessions Susan offers Presence and Space to be Seen and Heard.
Using her background as a Registered Nurse, Susan also offers Inservice Trainings to Health Care Providers in the Hospital, Long Term Care and Home Care settings. She designs each Inservice to meet the unique needs of each facility. She holds a BS in Nursing. Her MA in Nursing is from Columbia University, Teachers College.
Susan supports the idea of a GIFT ECONOMY where all
who attend her workshops and practice groups are invited to experience NVC in the spirit of receiving a gift. Donations are gladly received when given with an open heart and in the spirit of giving a gift.
By practicing NVC within the framework of a GIFT ECONOMY, Susan is trying to live the change she would like to see in the world. She also is taking care of her needs for contribution and to make this work accessible to all who are interested.
