Mentorship Program

If you’re familiar with my work, you’re probably aware of the cultural and ecological lenses that underpin my approach to NVC.  It is a framework and orientation that I consider critical to any real enduring personal and social change.

I did not come to my current understanding of life, relationships and how all is interwoven within the sacred web of life without the support and guidance of others. I have learned from many teachers to whom I am greatly indebted. I have also navigated my fair share of grief and hardship and these have profoundly shaped me. What I have distilled from various teachings and challenges over the decades has required an ongoing willingness to have every understanding and belief rigorously challenged and tested. Some have remained solid during the process while many have crumbled. It turns out that a deeply lived relational life comes at a high cost in a time such as ours and it requires an ongoing commitment.

Depending on how much time you devote to this learning, you will become something akin to a human tuning fork .. a person who reverberates to the pitch of what life requires from humans in a troubled time. This orientation is distinctly different from being driven by personal desire or injury. Both skillfulness and capacity are greatly needed to support others through significant challenges in this time. Will you be that person?

The mentoring curriculum includes a selection of books, videos and assignments that will be made available to you after we schedule an intake session to assess your suitability and overall objectives. Candidates will need to demonstrate a penchant for outside the box thinking that is more rooted in openness, wonder and humility than in opinions and knowledge. 

This is a serious commitment and is likely to be disruptive to your life in significant ways. It will not be an "add-on" to your existing tool kit. In fact it is far more likely to cause you to seriously reconsider your existing tool kit. Not to be taken lightly. 

Let’s get started ..

Select the 45 minute intake session below and email me to set up a time. Sessions are conducted via Zoom on weekdays between 9am and 4pm Pacific Time (with some flexibility depending on time zone differences).

Courage, Integrity, "Grace and Grit"

I have met few travellers on the spiritual path who follow their inner guidance with as much courage and integrity, “grace and grit” as Rachelle Lamb.  She is both pragmatist and poet, teacher and humble student. In my experience Rachelle is always pushing the envelope of her growth, deepening her integrity, and sharing her insights and experiences with an amazing generosity and artistry. She is always on the leading edge of her passion – be it social activism, compassionate communication, community building...  I learn so much from her, always, and come away awed and inspired, with profound insights, a hopeful, deeper heart, and usually some pretty darn practical tools to move me in the direction I am going.  Rachelle is a deeply authentic, intelligent, and highly skilled communicator and teacher.  You cannot but gain from any time you get to spend with her.
