Sarasota Green Connection, Inc. invites you to attend the next Green World Café event on January 4th, 2007 from 7-9pm in the Whole Foods Lifestyle Center. Nonviolent Communication Practitioner, Mercedes Frace, will join us to discuss Sustainable Relationships - An Introduction to Nonviolent Communication.
Nonviolent Communication (NVC) is a profound language process that is important for future/sustainable communities. NVC is aligned with many principles found in The Earth Charter, including points such as compassion, equality, integrity, sustainability & peace. Also called Compassionate Communication, NVC is the intention to open ourselves to others without fear, to listen without judgment, speak with honesty and love. Consciousness is at the core of NVC as it honors all human needs and shifts our paradigm to power-with relationships.
Mercedes Frace, NVC Practitioner, is a member of the Suncoast Network for Compassionate Communication (http://www.nvcsarasota.com). She is a registered Trainer Candidate with the Global Center for Nonviolent Communication (http://www.cnvc.org) and has trained with NVC founder, Dr. Marshall Rosenberg.
If you are interested in learning more about NVC, please join us on January 4th. We hope you will be able to attend this informative presentation this first Thursday of January!
