This two part series with Thom Bond, introduces an evolutionary way of thinking and speaking that is changing the way we humans think about conflict, compassion, and the prospects for harmonious spiritual diversity in our future.

Part One - Needs Awareness - A Path to Understanding, Compassion, and Harmony
8:00 AM-10:30 AM (PST) / 10:00 AM - 12:30 PM (EST) February 3rd, 2021
In this session, we learn the foundational concepts and practices that help us understand what engenders compassion and understanding, and what blocks it.  Our journey to Needs Awareness begins with an interactive introduction that culminates in an experiential exercise to bring us into deeper connection with ourselves and others (even people who think and act very differently than we do) - a key to a more wonderful future for all life.
This session will prepare us for Part Two - the deep exploration of our universal human experience through a life-connected deep empathy practice. Something that we can use in daily life for the rest of our lives.

 What People Say About Thom
"Thom supports and contributes to people from his heart because he really cares about the future of our planet with nonviolence as the beacon of hope."

- Compassion Course Participant


“If I gave appreciation for everything Thom Bond has contributed to me, I wouldn’t have time for anything else.”
- Marshall Rosenberg

“Wahhhhhh Thom! I thought introspective awareness was a specialty I had received during 23 years of regular meditation and spiritual studies. However, without this Compassion Course, I would have never discovered alone, the depth of thinking regarding judgments. I have been trying so many things to realize the ignorance of a judgmental attitude, but the seed was still in me… just because I never experienced the Inner Power and the Wisdom that comes from understanding needs.”
- Compassion Course Participant.
I’m still amazed. Relationships that were stuck in old patterns have become fluid, caring and loving. Perhaps, at sixty-six, to find a new love with my husband, a warmth and closeness with my children, it all seems like a miracle.”
— Compassion Course Participant

“I wholeheartedly endorse and will recommend The Compassion Course to anyone who is new to NVC and to people who want to deepen and integrate the skills and consciousness.”
— Robert Gonzales, CNVC Certified Trainer – living-compassion.org
“Thom’s style as a teacher is one that is filled with personal stories and examples that are meaningful and thoughtful. He does not place himself above anyone else.”
