Current & Upcoming Workshops
“Our goal is to create a quality of empathic connection that allows everyone’s needs to be met.”
Heart Centered Parenting Spring 2025 with Susan Wildin, MD, CPC
MD, Certified Professional Coach
Are you longing for more connection with the children in your life? You are invited to an 8-week, online, weekly course on Heart-Centered Parenting facilitated by Susan Wildin, MD, CPC. I am a retired developmental behavioral pediatrician and a transformational life coach. I started my Nonviolent Communication journey in 2007.
I believe we can change the current parenting paradigms and improve our relationships and empower our children to make choices based on their needs and the needs of others rather than to gain a reward or avoid a punishment. We shift things by learning self-compassion (understanding what we want from our children and why), empathy (listening deeply to what the children want from us and why) and honest expression of our own needs.
Heart Centered Parenting is for parents of children of all ages, grandparents, educators and anyone else who has contact with children. I am currently offering two sessions to meet online. Session one will meet on Sundays from 2-4 pm CST from January 12 through March 2, 2025. Session two will meet on Tuesdays from 1:30-3:30 from January 14 to March 4, 2025. Please let others know about the offerings, as I will require at least 4 participants for each session for it to go forward because learning is enhanced when you learn with others. Sessions are designed to build on one another, and you can still participate if you need to miss one or more sessions.
Registration is required so you can receive handouts and the Zoom invitation prior to the meeting. I request $180 for the 8-week course, but any amount will be gratefully accepted. All funds received will go to support Houston NVC. Please contact me at susan@wildins.net if you need to discuss the fee request or have any other questions.
Projects and lasting partnerships have evolved through people meeting each other in our workshops. Workshops are offered online and in-person. The in-person opportunities allow for a heightened experience of integration whereas the online workshops offer ease and accessibility. Houston NVC is committed to offering entry level courses as well as advanced work. We are also open to requests and love to hear feedback on what works and what doesn’t. Since we aim to service multiple time zones with our online courses, you will want to check our calendar regularly for changes.
Joining our workshops is a reliable way to expand your community of friends who want to learn and explore connection and communication. Inclusion is important to us, so tuition assistance is always available, please contact us directly at info@houstonnvc.org or reach out to the facilitator to find out more information.
