GROWING IN COMPASSIONATE COMMUNICATION

     12 Fridays 1:30 – 2:30 PM

     Weekly from January 12 to April 26 

How do you express your real feelings and needs? Does your self-expression need a boost, or some TLC? We will learn to listen to ourselves closely, be attentive to our real feelings and needs and notice how we are expressing them. Our communication with God, ourselves and others will become gentler and more respectful, more inclusive, and less reactive, with much better results. We will meet every Friday for 12 weeks for an hour to develop and practice less reactive and more compassionate communication skills. The world will be a kinder place if you can come. Do you have the time? It will be worth it! We will use Non-Violent Communication by Marshall Rosenberg. Led by S. Marcy. Donation: $150.
