Purpose

This is an 8 week workshop and group in Compassionate Communication that repeats every 8 weeks.

To meet needs for learning, continuity, safety and trust, the group is open to new people only during the first two sessions of each 8 week group. If you want to attend the group, please show up on the day or by 1/31/2012 at the latest.

What does it take to

• Reclaim our power to be fully alive?
• To heal the trauma and pain that keeps us stuck?
• To deal with the judgment and criticism, the negative self talk and the attitude of demand, that keeps us separate from healthy connections with others?

What does it take to tell our truth in a way that can be more easily heard by others?

The human soul hungers for the deep nourishment of understanding, connection and self-expression.

The domination system has outposts in our heads. We've been trained to think and communicate in a way that re-enforces our powerlessness and victimization.

Why? Because powerful people can't be bossed around. We don't give away our power through compliance.

Every Tuesday we will explore what is alive in us and practice our communication using NVC.

Upgeya Pew is an experienced and trained educator in Nonviolent Communication (NVC) and Mediation. His passion is in creating partnership culture through transformation in consciousness.

Attend this workshop and you will learn practical tools to

• Learn what triggers you emotionally.
• Clarify what’s underneath your negative self-talk so that you transform it into self-love.
• Develop skills for responding rather than reacting when in conflict.
• Increase your ability to build relationships based on compassion and mutual understanding.
• Create a world where we care for and respect one another, celebrating our differences.
