How do we make Compassionate Communication a part of our lives?
Learning the principles is a start. Living them is a lifelong practice. Through study practicing with others, we can learn and grow using real life experiences to become more compassionate with ourselves and others.
Below are the current practice/study groups. Some are open to new members. Please contact the facilitator or contact number for each group listed below for more information.
As a prerequisite to joining a group, it is requested that you do one or more of the following:
- Read Nonviolent Communication, A Language of Life, by Dr. Marshall Rosenberg, available in our bookstore and library.
- Attend an Introductory Workshop, see Class & Event Calendar
- Watch the DVD, The Basics of Compassionate Communication by Dr. Marshall Rosenberg. The DVD is available at our library or at the Center for Nonviolent Communication.
A suggested donation of $2-$5 is requested for each session as a way of supporting the expenses of the Center. No one is turned away due to limited funds.
