Do you sometimes (maybe even a lot of times) get tangled and bogged down in conversations and arguments? This can be baffling and frustrating!  We will discuss some of the tools and points of view that compassionate communication (sometimes called Nonviolent Communication) offers, and try out a few things together.  The tools are easy to understand – though they may take some practice to work best for you.

The question "Let Me See if I Get You" is one great way to free up a stuck conversation.  We’ll talk about why during our 90 minute gathering on Zoom, on Tuesday, April 27^th from 3:00-4:30pm

To prepare, we encourage you to jot down something someone said to you that you did not like that you’d feel ok to have others hear about. We'll be discussing them during the workshop with each other.
