Compassionate Communication

FOR PEACEFUL COMMUNITIES
a workshop in Nonviolent Communication

with NVC trainer, coach and student of Thich Nhat Hanh

Roberta Wall

“You are yourself in relationship.” – J. Krishnamurti

Perhaps no more powerful vehicle for peace exists than our voice. How do we speak to and with our children, our partners, strangers, co-workers, ourselves, and to that which is in such a way that begets peace and not more violence? What happens to our voice when we get caught in the loops of anger, judgment, guilt? How can our communication open hearts rather than wounds? In this workshop we will explore the skills and consciousness that can create deeper connection and harmony in the communities we live in, practice in, work and play in.

Experience compassionate communication as meditation in relationship.

Learn how to speak from a place of deep empathy for yourself and for others.

Transform the power of anger into compassionate speech.

Experience what true compassionate listening feels like.

Create peace within yourself and your community, word by word.
