"Never doubt
the power of a small group of people to change the world. That's about
the only way it has ever happened in the past."

"This has been a wonderful experience and I have felt honored and privileged to hear a piece of everyone's story... Being present to others without judgment is a gift unto itself - but allowing the 'soul' to have a voice in the process is humbling. Thank you for this sacred space."

Nonviolent Communication Practice Group
NVC as a Spiritual Practice -
Nonviolent Communication (NVC), or Compassionate Communication, is a process developed by Marshall B. Rosenberg, Ph.D., that is simple yet powerful. It shows us how to listen empathetically and communicate our authentic feelings and needs. More than just a communication technique, NVC can increase your understanding of yourself and others, helping you to connect to that deep well of compassion within.
Join this 6-week Practice Group to explore NVC principles and practice NVC exercises so you can integrate NVC into your life, and meet others who care about authentic connections, too!
