In Nonviolent Communication (NVC), one learns the value of "going where the life is" -- noticing what is going on in the moment that seems to matter, have vitality at the heart of it, and focusing our attention there. This non-class will be dedicated to that precept. There is no syllabus. Instead, the facilitator will lead each session based on what is alive for him that day, and what is alive in those who show up to participate. Our time together will be grounded in understandings about life as offered by NVC and by the spiritual underpinnings of NVC. Principles that are likely to play a factor include connecting to deep compassion, appreciating the beauty in that which we disown, differentiating what is actually known from the stories we make up to explain the world, and becoming more aware of aliveness in ourselves and others.
Attend one session or all. Advance registration is encouraged, as low advance enrollment may be taken as a sign of lack of aliveness to hold the session. This non-class is an informed experiment, with aspirations of serving life.
