“The Compass” is Arnina Kashtan’s unique methodology which synthesizes practices from Nonviolent Communication, The Work of Byron Katie, and Inner Child work with Arnina’s own discoveries, insights, and tools to support you in moving beyond old patterns of guilt, shame, anger, and fear…into freedom and an untapped celebration of who you really are. 

“I offer you a deep, radical process of truth, compassion, and courage, to uncover the essence of your being while transforming your personal, familial, and professional relationships in unprecedented ways.”

Deepening Our Understanding of “Difficult” Emotions

Do you generally try to avoid, get rid of, or suppress “difficult” emotions such as fear, anger, guilt, and shame? Do you see them as enemies?  

If so, it’s easy to understand why because they can cause quite a bit of suffering. But the suffering is, for the most part, unrelated to the emotions themselves. It’s possible, and liberating, to feel fear, anger, guilt, and shame with little to no suffering.

You might be asking, “How?” 

The first and very significant step is to get to know these emotions in depth. Ask, open up, and explore to understand them. What is their source? Who and what are they coming to protect or trying to serve? What do they actually want from us and is there a way to give it to them with less suffering on our part? (The “Compass” answer is “Yes!”)  

In this workshop, Arnina explores the first step towards the surprising possibility of living with these “difficult” emotions without the all too familiar suffering associated with them by courageously exploring their lesser-known world, uncovering their hidden intentions, and discovering a path to liberation from their oppressive grasp.

Do you sometimes feel stuck in painful patterns that contribute to feelings of fear, anger, guilt, and shame?  Do you often find yourself trapped in thoughts of comparisons, judgments, or ”shoulds”?  

If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, radical compassion can support you in liberating yourself from these painful patterns so you can enjoy an unprecedented sense of connection with yourself and others.

Intrigued?  If so, find out more in this workshop as Arnina shares a new pathway towards liberation.

Guiltless & Worriless Parenting ~ Is it really possible?

How can we live without the powerful emotions of guilt and worry, especially if we are parents?  

It seems like guilt and worry come built-in for caring parents and caring people in general, not surprisingly so. These two emotions are driven by the primal need for survival, but almost inevitably, in spite of their good intentions, they turn our life and our relationships into havoc.

So, what’s possible Instead? 

Once we understand the true intentions and aspirations bubbling below the guilt and worry, we can choose an alternative strategy to achieve what’s really important to us – with much less suffering for all.

Intrigued or simply curious? 

In this workshop, Arnina shares three steps to relating to yourself and your children with more compassion, clarity, and connection.

We also invite you to read, Parenting Without Obedience, written by Arnina and her sister, Miki, and this article, by Arnina, on parenting without guilt and worry.
