Embodying Empathy and Awareness

In spring 2013, Ñaniko (Oren Jay Sofer) will be co-leading a 7-day non-residential retreat in the SF Bay area with Donald Rothberg. Integrating the insights and practices of Buddhist meditation, the Buddha's teachings on wise speech, and the tools of Nonviolent Communication (NVC), Ñaniko and Donald bring a unique and powerful perspective to living and speaking mindfully. 

This retreat has been offered twice before, in a residential format, at Spirit Rock Meditation Center. This will be the only Wise Speech retreat offered by Donald & Ñaniko in 2013.  For details, see Communication or click on the "Wise Speech Retreat" section to the right.

Stronger — First Album release! 

Oren Jay Sofer’s first album of original music is now available via digital download and on CD.
