How is change affecting your life right now?
Whoosh! It seems like we have all been thrust into massive changes in our lives, doesn’t it?
In addition to the COVID-19 pandemic and significant shifts in world affairs, you may be facing a career change or a divorce. Maybe you’re moving across the country — or to another country… You might be dating for the first time in many years, or considering retirement. Perhaps someone you love is experiencing health issues, or maybe you are in the struggles of change that involve your children or elderly parents…
Change impacts us all in countless numbers of ways. And it can be incredibly confusing and scary to be in the throes of a major transition…
This nurturing, highly experiential course is designed to support you to more easily navigate times of intense change and transition. Expect to be inspired to step forward and embrace the life you want!
What to expect?
Over five sessions, you will be invited to explore how you may:
- find peace amid chaos and spend less time feeling stress;
- get back to balance faster and see beauty in the challenges;
- speak your truth to anyone and ask for help when you need it;
- stop being hard on yourself and much, much more!
Whether you have changed inside, but the rest of your life has not… or your life has turned completely upside down and you don’t know which way is up… or you simply see that change is on the horizon and you want to be ready for it — this course can help you find your way through it with greater peace and clarity.
Once you understand the phases of transition and can recognize where you are in the process, you will be more likely to relax and trust your process.
Register today, and get ready to step forward onto a new path!

Mary Mackenzie
Mary Mackenzie, M.A., is an author, trained mediator, and CNVC Certified Trainer of Nonviolent Communication. She holds a master’s degree in human relations from Northern Arizona University and is the co-founder of the NVC Academy, the only online school for learning Nonviolent Communication.
Mary teaches Nonviolent Communication and other spiritually-based programs to individuals, couples, families, organizations, and spiritual communities through a wide variety of workshops and retreats. Her book Peaceful Living: Daily Meditations for Living with Love, Healing and Compassion offers inspiring practical methods for creating peace in our everyday lives.
As a pioneer of online NVC training, Mary runs her company in harmony with what she teaches. She and NVC Academy co-founder, Mark Schultz, paved the way to NVC online training in 2006 and have been instrumental in alleviating the financial and geographical barriers to learning NVC skills.
One of her passions is facilitating critical dialogues between people, and she has spent more than 20 years learning a wide variety of effective processes she can draw on in a moment’s notice. Known for her clear communication style, she is especially skilled in helping individuals within groups put aside their preferences and find ways to collaborate with each other that are in alignment with their values. Her ability to cut through the confusion in a group has helped many teams quickly move forward in their desired progress.
