Is this you?
You value effective and compassionate communication. You want to cultivate mindfulness, and skills that help you create thriving relationships.
You’ve taken an introductory workshop with Wise Heart, an introduction to NVC with another trainer, or you have read Marshall Rosenberg’s book and have started to practice in your own life. You know that these skills require consistent attention and support to integrate into your life, and you’re looking for a structured practice opportunity. You enjoy coming together in a community of shared values for this important practice.
What is it all about?
Each month in 2019, Wise Heart is offering a structured practice group focusing on the skills of Mindful Compassionate Dialogue (MCD). This is an opportunity to hone basic skills that support deeper integration of MCD practices into daily life. You can sign up for one or more practice groups separately, or join for the whole year.
