We'll meet weekly to immerse ourselves in the energy, connection and language skills of the "field out beyond right thinking and wrong thinking" that Rumi wrote about. Like any language immersion program, right from day one, we'll all be speaking, listening and being NVC. This is a chance to have a weekly practice living embodied non-violence. Clearly this class is a perfect practice group for anyone who has studied NVC. Surprisingly, this process also works really well to people just starting. It turns out everyone has a sense about what feels like clean, clear communication, and that's all NVC is about - it's just a set of skills that help us understand how to do that better. The way it will work is we will have a topic to discuss each week (e.g. connection, judgments, how to disagree and not be disagreeable, etc.) and we'll all participate in the discussion. As each person talks, if anyone in the group feels something about the form of the communication which feels disconnecting or in some way could be expressed even more compassionately,  everyone will be invited to raise a hand, even if you don't know what it is that seems off. Then, as a group, we'll discuss the issue from our guts, and hash out how to express this idea in a way that creates connection, peace and inclusion. Sign up for the whole series (at a discount), or drop in to classes you can. We'll be covering all the topics in an Intro to NVC, as well as more advanced topic in what I call Embodied NVC. Reading the book: "Non-Violent Communication: A language of Life" by Marshall Rosenberg is highly recommended: https://www.amazon.com/Nonviolent-Communication-Language-Marshall-Rosenberg/dp/1892005034. Classes are $15 each or $125 for all 10 classes.

All couples have disagreements, but why? Did you know that research now shows the single best indicator of divorce is the way a couple speaks to each other? In this class we'll explain what causes conflict, and teach you a few easy-to-learn techniques that will turn 80% of those potential arguments into opportunities for greater intimacy, instead of frustration and anger. We'll share with you our skills as professional couples mediators and NVC* instructors. Bring your spouse or come alone. This class will also be helpful for people between relationships seeking to improve their partnership skills.  

Cost: $20/person or Couple (same price, why not bring your spouse?)

($10 if you are taking this class a second time) Plus, couples can win a free 1 hour private couples session for just attending this class!
