Take this simple quiz:
- Do you feel you get heard by those you care about?
Do they stop to listen to you?
- Do they understand what you are really saying and feeling beyond the words?
- Do you feel you listen and deeply understand those you care about?
- Can you totally focus on what they are saying and feeling?
- Do you stop thinking about what you are going to say next when they are still talking?
- Once you get to the heart of the issue, is it resolved once and for all?
- Do you feel the heart-to-heart connection with people when you communicate with them?
If you answered "No" to any of these questions, then you can really use these communication tools. Recommended Textbook:

We will dive deeply into exploring how communicating using the tools can enhance our connection with others through cultivating moment-to-moment honesty and presence in the face of whatever you are feeling and needing.
Non-Violent Communication by Marshall B. Rosenberg, Ph. D.
We'll explore how to avoid making choices based on life-alienating cultural conditioning, and instead choose to make in-the-moment requests that come out of our ever-deepening self-connection.
At the heart of Marshall Rosenberg’s work (NVC) is a vision of a world where everyone’s needs are met. To work towards creating such a world requires working with our judgmental characterizations of others so we can recognize their full humanity and our connection to each other. In this workshop we will work to uncover deep-seated beliefs and judgments about the world, and to transform them into: self-connection with our own needs, mourning of our unmet needs, and awareness of our human bond to the needs of others.
