"During Mair's Mentoring Calls I experienced her creative, NVC exercises as both fun & easy to apply to my life."
Kelley Giaramita, Wellness Consultant  

Having worked and collaborated with Mair for 14 years, I feel blessed and grateful for the mutual learning and consistency I experience in our interactions.  I have grown to trust Mair's ability to support the group sessions by tracking where we are, guiding the conversation with suggestions and points of learning and consistently checking with the group for inclusion and informed decisions.  I believe Mair creates a level of safety and trust so that participants are eager to step up and practice applying the tools of empathy and seem to welcome the feedback, seeing it as an invitation to add another tool to their tool box.
Carol Chase, CNVC Certified Trainer    

"I participated in 6 calls with Mair and a group of NVC enthusiasts through the month of January. I found myself nervous as I was new to the teleconference format and to NVC. However, within a couple of calls I felt at ease. My heart was opened by the honest sharing of participants and the deep listening and curiosity Mair brought to each session and person. Over these several weeks, I have come to feel more alive and celebratory toward myself and others. I've opened to new truths and wisdom within myself. The support of others also sharing their truth and honoring my own, has left me feeling inspired, enlivened and hopeful!

Thank-you Mair for guiding this process with such ease and integrity. And thank-you to all the participants who offered their companionship and acceptance!" with warmth, Gwen
