The Communicating LIFE Program: Living Compassion in Dialogue
Dates: This program consists of two weekend-long workshops with a teleconference call held in the month between these workshops. The first intensive of this program in 2012 took place on January 21 and 22. The second intensive will be held on March 3 and 4. The date of the teleconference call is February 20.
Join us for an evening of conversations about Nonviolent Communication (newcomers and experienced people welcome), meet local NVC-ers, or simply get curious! You might even enjoy playing some 'Empathy Poker' and experience the power of Empathy for yourself or others! Feel free to bring your own dinner or something to share. Coffee and tea will be offered.
There are ways that we can think we're "doing NVC" when we're actually doing the opposite, acting in a way that is not aligned with NVC consciousness. When this happens, it can be a big turn-off, leading people to hate what they think is NVC. This is particularly tragic when in happens in a context where we're trying to teach NVC to others.

Intimate relationships can be wonderful, contributing to the quality of our lives in profound ways. Many of us are partnered, and many of us wish we were. Yet, all too often, relationships don't live up to our fantasies of what we wish for. Often, we imagine that things might be better with a different partner. But those who move on to a different partner often find old patterns repeating. Whatever relationship we are in, we bring ourselves -- and our assumptions about relationships and strategies for navigating them.
