"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!
Details are still being worked out, but please let Mimi know if you're interested. We will be starting soon! Email mimi@gracemoves for more information.
