One of our members, Cherie S, is facilitating a communication course.  Nonviolent Communication (NVC) is a simple yet powerful model that gives you the skills to: be compassionate, resolve conflict, connect with feelings, express yourself, get what you want, hear others feelings, listen empathically and create satisfying relationships.
I did the course with Cherie as facilitator earlier last year and felt so empowered that I had a set of skills to work with day to day and I use those skills every day.
If you want to know more about the course have a look at her flyer by clicking on the link below.
