Description: We welcome you to join us for
a daylong NVC practice gathering on at a private home
in Lemon Grove. We will come together to sense into what
topics are most alive for each participant and invite
practice clusters to form around these topics.
Come seek support, companionship, self-expression,
inspiration, learning, and growth as we ask ourselves...
-When it comes to living daily from compassion, what has
most life for me?
-What are my challenges?
-Where am I getting stuck?
-Where might I want to request empathy?
-What blocks me from expressing honesty and empathy?
-What am I learning that I might feel called to share with
others?
The format will follow Open Space Technology. See the flyer for more info.
