June 23rd, 2021 through June 22nd, 2022 "For anyone who wants to have more compassion, understanding and harmony in their lives and in our world” As we humans have developed other technologies, the technology of compassion has been developed too. This course provides the “how to” of creating more connection, understanding, and compassion in our daily lives – a way to create a world we will be happy to leave our children’s children. The work is challenging, at times confronting, and with perseverance, practice, focus, and dedication, it works. What You’ll Learn:

Remorse and Restorative Justice by Susan Allan | |
|
In recent months, watching the news has offered a reminder of the extraordinary value of Nonviolent Communication® for many of us. As I absorb the verbiage that I hear and read, translating it as quickly as possible into Feelings and Needs language, I find great solace in memories of Marshall Rosenberg leading an IIT. |

We got answers to questions like: "Why will this course be of special interest for people already familiar with NVC?" and "Why do you think it is important to share NVC skills with the business community?"

What impact does music have on society? Music has the power to culturally, morally, and emotionally influence our society. Thus, the more intentional we become with the sounds, messages, and moods we create and release through our music, the more powerful we will become in making deep positive impacts. |
