[act-ma] 3/31 Non-Violent Communication Training: Alchemy of Relationships

[Robbie Samuels]

I just signed up for this NVC Boston class (details below) and I encourage
you to join me. I think it would be really helpful and supportive if
activists and organizers had common language for how to discuss conflict in
our relationships and friendships.

Not familiar with Non-Violent Communication? Check out this Introductory

Please let me know if you're considering attending - register by March 24
to save $15!

Hugs,
Robbie

partners, family, co-workers, and friends. Cambridge, MA at the Friend's
Meeting House. Early Registration discount ends on March 24.

*“One of the most important aspects of relationships that thrive is the
ability to successfully communicate and resolve conflicts. Skills to
achieve this are learnable by all...learning these skills, however,
requires dedication and willingness to shift fundamental ways of relating
to self and others.” -- Being Genuine, Thomas D’ansembourg*


   - Mend old hurts.  Clear up confusion. Renew hope.
   - Express gratitude and appreciation effectively.
