Intro to Compassionate Communication with Kathy Black

This 4-week series is a game-changer for communicating with people who see the world differently than you do. Compassionate Communication (aka Nonviolent Communication) provides the tools you need to:

  • respond to hard-to-hear messages in ways that allow you to connect with others

  • disarm the judgment, evaluation and criticism that block your innate compassion

  • identify your own feelings & needs so you can be present, open and available in any conversation

  • learn how to have an open-hearted conversation with almost anyone about almost anything

If you’re ready to greatly improve communication patterns with your partner, family members, co-workers & friends, this is the class for you!

  • Wednesday mornings, May 6th - 27th at 10:00 AM

  • Four 90-minute sessions

  • Meet on Zoom

  • Registration: $95
