NVC Foundations Two

Yellow and brown Lichens on Pine branch

NVC has already been contributing to my life.  I’m feeling so peaceful and happy.  The relationship between me and my parents has been developing little by little because of NVC. My husband and I feel deeper connected.  I loved the empathy talks with my practice buddy. My husband and I decided to continue that empathy practice.  Please bring your partner or family!  You will be amazed how things change.

COURSE DESCRIPTION:   As we complete the basics of NVC and begin the more complex compassionate responses to life’s challenges, people see more power unfold to connect, to express effectively and with care, and to find solutions that work for everyone.  You will understand the basic and more delicate principles of NVC with discussions, role plays and practice.

TO ARRANGE CLASSES:     Meganwind loves offering these classes. When you have a group of 6-12 people who have completed the NVC Foundations One series and can meet at a particular day of the week and time, call Meganwind Eoyang at 707-775-7178 with the start date of class, your name, phone/s, and email. You can register and pay the $400 tuition per person for this series with her by phone.

MEETING ON LINE:  This class will meet over the internet via Zoom technology.  You can download free Zoom software at zoom.us. I will send you information on how to join the calls about a week before the series begins.  REQUEST:  Please email a headshot (a picture of your head or of your head and shoulders) so I can create a Community Map we will use during each class.

RECOMMENDED READING:  You may want to start re-reading Marshall Rosenberg’s book, Nonviolent Communication, A Language of Life, before the class begins, since most people learn new things from a second reading.

If you enjoy learning by writing, you may also want to get a copy of  Nonviolent Communication, A Companion Workbook by Lucy Leu for weekly writing exercises.  These books are available at CNVC.org or Amazon.com or at your local library

Meganwind Eoyang came to the study of Nonviolent Communication from a very different world. She grew up street fighting on the south side of Chicago. Her longing for sweet, deep connection with fellow humans arose after first finding safety and meaning in nature. She was excited to discover that Nonviolent Communication offers clear steps for practicing the compassion, self love, and love for others which her Chinese, European and North American (and other) spiritual traditions invite us to live. She has been a trainer with Bay Area Nonviolent Communication since 2004.
