Itzel Hayward and Kathy Simon, Certified NVC Trainer:

This course is designed to help you step into your power and create a more just world while staying aligned with compassion and empathy.

Using practices and insights based in Nonviolent Communication, this five-session series explores how to challenge racist words and ideas in ways that are most likely to encourage others to openly reflect on their beliefs and behavior. This is an important step in making real change.

You will come away with an increased ability to:



- Stay grounded in conversations that can be painful and upsetting

- Respond meaningfully to perspectives that are different from your own

- Find words to express clearly and passionately why it matters to transform social systems
