This practice session will be facilitated by Sandy Perrin, and the theme will be “Setting our intention to connect” related to Chapter 1 – “Giving From the Heart” from Marshall Rosenberg’s book “Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life”. Participants are encouraged to read at least that chapter before the session, for best learning and practice benefits.

Everyone please RSVP, and cancel your RSVP if you can’t make it because places are limited!

General Intro:

We will study and apply together Nonviolent Communication (NVC) in English. This is a revolutionary way of relating authentically with yourself and others through building consciousness around: Empathy and Self-Empathy, Compassion, Emotional Freedom, Self-Expression among others essential elements!

The goal is to grow our capacity to communicate and exist in Truth from the Heart.
