David Weinstock is a certified Somatic Coach through the Strozzi Institute, a practitioner of Nonviolent Communication and a teacher of Aikido. Through his coaching practice, Liminal Somatics, www.liminalsomatics.com he offers individual coaching, workshops and classes designed to help his clients develop their abilities to self-direct, self-generate, and navigate through the complexities of life with greater clarity and integrity. He leads trainings locally and around the world—in his community, schools, prisons, and communities on four continents. David draws from 30 years experience as an entrepreneur and artisan. After completing his college education in environmental sciences and community studies, he moved into an old-world apprenticeship with an award-winning, four-generation goldsmithing family. Following this apprenticeship, he traveled the world for several years learning and connecting with different cultures. Having seen the effect of U.S. policy around the world, he returned stateside with a sense of responsibility and commitment to affecting change in the world from home. Mr. Weinstock set up shop as a goldsmith and began organizing environmental and political groups.

As a respected Master Goldsmith he co-founded Green Karat, an organization that tackles the environmental hazards of the gold industry by promoting recycled, post-consumer gold and stones. He co-founded Peaceworks Productions, a company that produces benefits for environmental and non-profit organizations. In addition, David serves as Executive Director of Community Artworks, an organization devoted to helping community leaders manifest their dreams through the practice of fully embodied skills and actions.

David has been teaching Aikido for 25 years, which offers a path to enter into conflict with the goal of blending rather than domination, yielding, inclusiveness, rather than polarization. In recent years has been a part of a developing program that intentionally guides young men (several from West Sound) into adulthood. Along with his wife, Judith, he has lead several student delegations to India, Ethiopia, and Nicaragua. David and his wife Judith co-founded an intentional community, where they have raised their family over the past twenty years. They have devoted their adult lives to practicing community, committing themselves to an integrated and intentional way of life. All of Weinstock’ work is based on building our connection to one another and to nature. He is committed to building our capacity to value what each of us brings to the circle so We can reclaim community, value diversity and live more sustainable together.
