The Compassion Course Online with Thom Bond | |
|
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:

Anti-Asian Racism: Educating Yourself and Others by Dan Wang (Not NVC but of value) | |
|
|
|
|
On March 16, 2021, the murder of eight individuals in Atlanta—six of whom were Asian women—shook the nation. In the weeks since, many have taken to the streets to protest against Anti-Asian racism, compelling political and business leaders to speak out as well.

Family, Purpose, Land by Miki Kashtan | |
|
Going to Israel, where I am from, to be with my sister Arnina on her 70th birthday wasn’t an easy decision. These are not simple times for travel. Being in Israel, which I left because I didn’t want to have certain things be done in my name, has only become more difficult over the last number of years. And, based on previous visits, I anticipated being challenged to stay both focused on purpose and open to life. |

Answer the Bell by Tim Buckley | |
|
There are some days I sit in front of my desk for six hours without once standing up and stretching. Likewise, I will go for hours without taking a drink of water from a glass full sitting right beside me. |

The Essentials of Compassionate Communication by Jon Russell | |
|
We have all been in situations where there were terrible misunderstandings. Either we have felt misunderstood or the other has. We often leave these situations mystified as to what had happened. How were we so misunderstood? What did I do wrong? Or: Why were they so stubborn? Couldn't they understand what I was trying to say? |

We recently sat down with Ike to learn more about the new course and what the PuddleDancer community, in particular, can learn from it. 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?"
