[Relationships] Non-Violent Communications courses

[Guest guest]

Dear

Steve, I am forwarding these details of the Non-Violent Communications courses to

our group, In_Joy

and I hope you will keep me informed of your next course so I can forward it,

or send the info directly to the group (you’d need to be a member first,

though: In_Joy/

).

In grace,

Dayu

Subject: NVC courses

Hi Dayu,

Would you believe there is a direct quote from Master Darshan which

mirrors NVC philosophy? He wrote in the April 2001 Sat Sandesh:

" We should live our lives listening

to the souls and hearts of others. We should be sensitive to other

people's feelings and needs. "

Dr. Rosenberg is frequently reminding people that loving communication is

all about finding the feelings and needs of others.

I don't believe there is any one course in NVC, but so so many

variations on this wonderful theme. Lots of books and CDs and DVDs

available at www.cnvc.org Some of

those items can be found cheaper on www.amazon.com

if you search for Marshall Rosenberg and NVC

There is now even a clever NVC card game available for less than $20,

which is a fun way for groups, kids and families to learn the process.

This is available online at: www.nvcproducts.com

Miki Kashtan, one of the most popular NVC trainers, is scheduled to do

an NVC retreat Feb. 22 thru 27, 2008, in Delray

Beach. These retreats tend to be quite costly,

but there is a lot of opportunity for learning and practice at them.

Dr. Marshall Rosenberg will be appearing for a 9-day intensive retreat

near Orlando in

March 2008.

But for someone who is new to this language of compassion and

nonjudgment... I think " Nonviolent Communication: A Language for

Life " is an effective introduction which also goes quite deeply into the

philsophy and shows how it is really just an extension of ahimsa, etc.

There are also some wonderful NVC teleclasses available, which are

reasonably priced and so convenient. Please let me know if you want more

info about them.

Then of course there are the groups I am facilitating, which are

basically NVC Practice/Support groups. Here is the next one I've got

planned:

Dear NVC friends,

I recently had the pleasure of spending some quality time with my

friend , and her friend Bine, as we explored the Vizcaya Museum

and Gardens.

It turns out is quite interested in exploring NVC, and has

graciously offered to host an NVC group at her home in City on:

Friday, Sept. 28th, at 7:30pm.

Please mark your calendar if you'd like to come. Kindly RSVP to me, Steve, at 305-947-9115, or email me at swpollack1@...

You can use 's address, below, to get online

directions. Her phone is included as well:

Bine

5186 SW 122 Terrace

City, FL 33330

Tel. 954-295-3189

To help me with what NVC folks call financial self-care, I request a

contribution of $10 per person. But please know it's only a request, and

I wouldn't want you to miss the learning, connections, compassion and fun

for lack of funds, so please consider coming even if you choose not to make any

contributions for whatever reason. Thank you!

Boardwalk for $500? In 2007? Ha!
