Details

   Our words and actions are our best attempts to meet our needs. So when we connect with each other's needs, and people feel heard and understood, they are able to make changes that meet their needs even better. We will have lots of practice, so that Compassionate Communication could be used in any situation.

We will focus on
. Turning criticism, labeling of others into compassionate understanding

.  Learning empathy with ourselves and others who are angry, hurt, scared, etc.

.  Practicing empathy with a "No" we don't want to hear or are afraid to say

.  Responding empathetically when we haven't met the needs of others

.  Expressing needs that are not easy to express

We'll have demos, dialogues, discovery and lots of practice time. You'll be ready to put Nonviolent Communication (NVC) to use!
