This is a highly interactive\, discussion-based exploration of Marshall Rosenberg’s book “Nonviolent Communication: a Language of Life\, 3rd Ed.” (Puddle Dancer Press\, 2015). Together\, we will form an online learning community in which we can apply what we’ve read about with real people in real conversation. Reading\, reflection\, and review homework provide participants with the opportunity to make the most of the weekly online interactions\, which will focus on practice and application. This is an excellent foundational workshop for the beginner or a sound refresher for returning practitioners. \nWho is it for? This course is for people who have occasion to communicate with people and want to be able to do so more effectively\, especially in the conversations which are most important to us. The people who will get the most out of the experience are those who read along in advance of each week’s session and come ready and willing to risk trying the things they read about in a real conversation with a real person. \nWhat is unique about this course? Rosenberg’s compassionate communication framework is a powerful tool we can use to make authentic\, heart-to-heart connections. Being heard\, understood\, and accepted is one of the most powerful gifts we can offer one another. It is also a gift that those around us desperately need. This group provides an opportunity to create peace in the world by creating peace within ourselves\, as well as between ourselves and all with whom we speak. \nWhat if I can’t attend live? Sessions will be recorded and sent via email to those who sign up for the series. \nHow to sign up? Just follow this link to join the course. Suggested donation is $180 for access to the learning platform and 8 weekly\, two-hour\, live\, group sessions. \nTogether\, we’re committed to making this course available to everyone\, so if the suggested donation is a problem for you\, simply email starz.organizer@gmail.com for a discount code.
