Hello Reader,
I’m happy to invite you to NVC events here in Calgary this spring. More and more I regard NVC, Nonviolent Communication (also called Compassionate Communication) as a most effective way to integrate relational skills for meaningful daily living. Dr. Marshall Rosenberg’s internationally acclaimed approach opens the door to healing and harmony, freedom and fulfillment. I’m discovering how, in deed, acting on the awareness of needs is fundamental to our well-being.
“This exploration of NVC has spoken deeply to my desire to transform my own consciousness and to enlarge and deepen my connection with others. I feel supported, heard, and warmly connected… and open-hearted. I appreciate your skill and the safe container you offer.” – Heather Compton, workshop participant
