SHiNE Couples Coaching with Candice Schutter
Practice Presence in a Loving Container for Conscious Communication

An intimate relationship is meant to be an environment where the best of you is witnessed, reflected, and fostered. Yet, over time we too often become entrenched in the stagnancy of a comfort zone, and we lose sight of the ever-changing needs that are alive and real in the moment. Basing our awareness on the past, we make countless assumptions - thinking that our knowledge of our mate is complete and without flaw. In doing so, we miss out on the potential for heartfelt connection in the present.

SHiNE Couples Coaching is a container in which you and your partner can be fully present for one another. Candice will offer many tools and assist you to:
- Identify Energy Leaks present in your communications
- Balance heart-centered talks with Empty Listening
- Create tangible strategies to foster connection daily
- Differentiate your journeys to become singular souls on a shared journey of learning and transformation

Enhancing Communication: Resources

Wise Heart - Compassionate Communication
with LaShelle Charde


Today I had the privilege of attending a workshop on NVC (non-violent communication). This two-hour introductory event, entitled
Compassionate Communication, was led by LaShelle Charde. She is a gifted, local facilitator who lovingly and graceful guides others in clarity and connection. I highly recommend her services to anyone who would like to bring consciousness and compassion to relationship and communication. Her logo (pictured above) really visibly describes the sensation of being held in the container that NVC provides. Check out one of her local classes soon... perhaps I will see you there!

Saying What's Real:
7 Keys to Authentic Communication and Relationship Success
by Susan Campbell


This book is another great resource recommended to enliven communication in your most intimate relationships. I have only scratched the surface of its contents; however, it is rich with tangible resources that will empower you to bring honesty to your communications with less anxiety and greater ease. Campbell suggests seven keys to authentic communication and relationship success, giving you verbal anchors that guide a more grounded approach to expressing the truth within your heart and mind. Examples include: "Hearing you say that, I feel...", I am getting triggered...", "I appreciate you for...". Each statement is explained more in-depth so that you may learn to create the energetic environment that will support listening, speaking, and being heard with purity.
