Compassionate Communication
Course & Practice
Wednesday Evenings
7:30-9:00 PM EST
In a time when we are being called upon to use compassion in place of divisive judgement, Compassionate Communication (based on Marshall Rosenberg's Nonviolent Communication) offers a way to understand and bring empathy and healing to ourselves, and those around us. It gives us a process for listening and expressing ourselves in ways that connect us to the most valued needs we all share and which motivate our thoughts, feelings and actions.
Includes handouts and a review of each session will be emailed to you.
Cost:
Sustainable - $10.00 per evening
Supportive - Please pay whatever you are able even if it is to come without cost (Costs for courses may vary).
Pay It Forward - $15.00 per session
