Hi, neighbors, we are starting up our official NVC group.
Every other Tuesday, it will be an "open" NVC practice group, i.e. dropping in is welcome by anyone, any experience level. On other/alternating Tuesdays, we will have a "closed" practice group - only people who commit by 2/13 will be gathering those weeks, and that will allow for a safe container, more trust and more in-depth practice.

We will meet in person in West Brattleboro, nearby fire station. Please email me at smile_spaces@pm.me for exact address and parking directions, and to RSVP.

I would like to suggest a donation of $10 if you are able to afford it.

Any level welcome.

Warmly,
Aliona

P.S.
For those new to NVC, there are many online resources. Here is my little blurb about it: NVC is a way of communicating that embraces curiosity and non-judgment, supporting clear, respectful and harmonious relationships - inter-personal, intra-personal, professional ones. For these reasons, it is frequently used to resolve conflicts. I personally have found it to be extremely useful in therapy as well. Through NVC, we create a connection with another person by relating to their feelings and the underlying needs, longings, values. When in disharmony or conflict, we learn to make non-judgmental non-evaluative observations and practice finding creative strategies to meet the needs of both parties. It's a tool for connection, really, and it's been a super effective one for me.
