Lori Grace Star, MA Psych. LMT, has been studying and teaching approaches to communication and conflict resolution for nine years and Compassionate Communication for five. Compassionate Communication is an essential part of the skills she uses to connect compassionately with others and herself; to feel peaceful and inspired in daily life.
Lori maintains a private practice teaching people Tantra for over ten years and has been leading workshops in Tantra for fifteen years. She is also an anti-aging specialist. She has helped many couples and individual women overcome a wide variety of difficulties with their sexuality. She helps people expand their ability to communicate with their partners, feel compassion and understanding for each other, and experience profound levels of Tantric connection.
Lori was introduced to Compassionate Communication in 1999 and has been teaching it in California, Hawaii and New York. She has been instrumental in bringing NVC to the Hawaiian islands.
Nonviolent Communication (NVC) is based on the principles of nonviolence-- the natural state of compassion when no violence is present in the heart.
NVC begins by assuming that we are all compassionate by nature and that violent strategies—whether verbal or physical—are learned behaviors taught and supported by the prevailing culture. NVC also assumes that we all share the same, basic human needs, and that each of our actions are a strategy to meet one or more of these needs.
