Love, Liberation, and Relational Holism: Waking up in a World on Fire

Harmony in Speech - Nonviolent Communication
Monday, March 28 – May 2
6:45 – 8:45 PM in person
7:00 to 8:30 PM on Zoom
With Nonviolent Communication ( NVC) we learn to hear our own deeper needs and those of others. Through its emphasis on deep listening—to ourselves as well as others—NVC helps us discover the depth of our own compassion.
This language reveals the awareness that all human beings are only trying to honor universal values and needs.
Class will include discussion, practice and home readings. Based on the work of Marshall Rosenberg.
Taught by Sharon Rudnitzky
Suggested donation for 6 week class series is $90. Please donate according to your means. If you are able to donate more, this allows others with less means to attend.
