[YAF-announce] Fwd: NVC Group, Orientation Invitation

[Edith Bross]

Dear Non Violent Communicators!

You are invited to join the Non Violent Communication Practice Group!
We hope to learn Marshall Rosenberg's technique as a jumping-off place for
non violent communication in our lives.

This group is for:

   - all levels,
   - for use in personal relationships
   - and social justice work

The spirit of our work is focused on the intention towards compassionate
relationship; with ourselves and with others. The focus is not on how well
one speaks the language of NVC. We're not asking: "does it sound right" but
rather "does it feel right."  Join us in this spectacular adventure!


Despite a bout of flu which caught me in PA, (where I'm recovering)  I'm
eager to help support our interest in non violent communication.

Here are the logistics:
Note: Sunday times are 12:15 pm. to 2:00 pm, Location is in the parlor of
the Beacon Hill Friends Meeting House on Chestnut St.
Thursday times are 6:30 pm to 7:45 pm, same location.

Oct  26th -Sunday

Nov 9th -Sunday

Nov 13th - Thursday

   - Bring a few dollars to donate to the house for their hospitality,


   - Bring some snack or sandwich to munch on (apples and peanut butter will
   be provided).
   - Expect a prompt from me or Jo Ballen with a meditation for the week
   before our meetings (AKA "homework").
   - Please RSVP to me so I know how many are expected.
