Full Spectrum Communication
There is more to good communication than using the right words and avoiding the wrong ones. The verbal dimension is often the last car in the communication train that begins with your sense of being, your identity, your frame of mind, your perception, your physiology, your energy body, and the calmness or inflammation of your ego. This class seeks to build skills in those more generative layers of communication that precede words, so that you will naturally and intuitively find better language, or even get the result you desire without having to speak at all.
This class will include group discussion, Socratic questioning, somatic skill building, group exercises, brain-twisters, red pills and copious amounts of humor. Students are free to audio record the workshop. Bringing your curiosity, a water container, a journal and comfortable clothing is greatly encouraged. This class is a great addition to anyone who has been studying NVC or Compassionate Communication.
We will be covering:
The somatic layer of communication, working with the inner animal.
Soothing and calming the ego
Staying empathic without feeling overwhelmed or falling into another person’s interpretation of reality
Engaging the imagination and setting intention with communication while staying vulnerable and authentic.
Grounding and energetically tuning a shared reality space.
Energy Saving rules of thumb
Energetic postures that allow you both the most grace and leverage towards your desired outcome.
Telling the truth when the truth feels like a moving target.

“Eric is a treasure! I came in with my challenges around the overwhelm I was feeling in my life... and I left my session full of inspiration and exercises that I could continue on with at home. He has an amazing presence and ability to hold space for where you are at. I loved that he really listened and saw how I expressed myself and brought in modalities that fit *me* the best... specifically ones that catered to my visual expression and understanding. He really has an amazing wealth of life coaching techniques and ability to graciously guide me to my own understanding and clarity.”

Eric is one of the most skilled people I have ever encountered with any form of healing, communication work, and integration of mind, body, and spirit.
His logical abilities are beautifully harmonized with his compassion for others. What I really value how he works is he is direct. To the point, precise, calculated and understands all side of the story offering amazing insight into many things I was not particularly aware of. He has helped me tremendously with changing the way I communicate in a much healthier way. “

“Eric is a deeply gifted intuitive. He helped identify a gap in my understanding, then gave me several tactile ways to re-connect to my body and ultimately to the source itself.
He attuned to the ways I learn (I'm a visual, kinetic learner), then helped me to access my right brain through drawing what was happening to me energetically. A year later, and I still see the drawings in my mind. They help ground me in situations at least a couple of times a week.
If you're looking for someone who can help you uncover where you're stuck, then create new pathways for lasting change, Eric's your guy.”

Eric is a patient, thoughtful, intuitive healer who offered many insights into my own communication process. After our session together, I feel more empowered to speak my truth in an effective way, how to speak without arming or alarming others, and how to identify and communicate my needs (BIG plus for me). He is fun, funny, lighthearted, and openminded. It was a pleasure to spend the day hiking around San Francisco and opening myself up to new channels of communication. A life coaching session unlike any I've had before, and that's a great thing! I look forward to putting the techniques we explored into greater practice, to develop the strength of communication and intuition to assimilate them into my everyday experiences, and to foster new learning and growth in my future. Thank you Eric! I'll be seeing you again!
