Peacemaking begins with us. If we see our own anger, fear, and confusion as enemies, how can we authentically offer compassion and understanding—much less work to restore well-being to our world—when others express anger, fear, or confusion?
Making peace with ourselves liberates us from life-alienating evaluations, judgments, and interpretations so that not only do we experience innate innocence and joy, but we naturally contribute our insight and compassion to creating a more peaceful environment around us.
Join us for this intermediate NVC workshop in which we’ll explore a number of practices for deepening self-connection, strengthening connections with others, and cultivating vision for furthering peace on our planet.
* You are invited to contribute as high on the sliding scale as you can, with ease and joy. If you need a partial scholarship to attend, contact Lynd Morris to make arrangements.
