Home for the Holidays - Compassionate Communication with our families - 4 sessions
Winter holidays often bring us home for visits with family where we long to celebrate life and connect deeply with the people we’re tied to. We’ll explore how to bring our compassionate hearts forward. Over the four evening sessions*, we will:

explore ways to share heart connections
reveal to others what’s going on with us
learn and celebrate what’s going on with others
care for ourselves in moments when the connection may not be what we’d hoped

*No class on November 24^th (Thanksgiving)

We will address participants’ real-life situations with empathy, expression and role plays, using Marshall Rosenberg’s Nonviolent Communication. You can build the kind of holidays you and your family will enjoy, and will savor later.

Meganwind Eoyang came to the study of nonviolent communication from a very different world. She grew up fighting in street gangs 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 staff trainer with Bay Area Nonviolent Communication since 2004.
