Barbara Larson, Deborah Bellamy, Jeff Brown, Kristin Masters, Louise Romain and Mary Mackenzie, Certified NVC Trainer:
Does your workplace convey a sense of “community?” And how does that sense of community you feel at work differ from what’s present at your church, your sangha or dojo? What about the neighborhood where you live?
Do you ever find yourself taking your community for granted?
And – what can YOU do to support and grow “community” wherever you find it?
The word “community” is so fluid, it’s hard to pin down and define! Partly because it can be expressed in many different ways: monthly practice groups… gatherings such as potlucks or coffee get-togethers… local and regional boundaries or organizations… We no longer even have to be face-to-face to have community; we can now gather virtually in online communities and share common interests and values regardless of where we work or live…
Wherever you find “community” – and however you define it – each of us is seeking it, searching for that place where we feel strengthened and encouraged by others walking along similar paths. That place where we are visible and can easily contribute…
Especially when learning a new skill like NVC.
Please join us as we take a deeper look into this mysterious word, “community.” In this Trainer Dialogue recording, we explore the living process of creating, uniting and nurturing NVC communities so that they transcend yet sustain and empower their members.
