Pace e Bene

Those who have participated over the last four years in NE Pace e Bene workshops and trainings are going deeper into each of the study and action areas by getting further training.

In NH, friends from the Engage workshop are cosponsoring with Pace e Bene NE Associate LR Berger the opportunity to explore nonviolent communication by bringing a three day study to NH.

Come join us and spend April 3-5 immersing yourself in the powerfully nurturing consciousness of compassion!

Nonviolent CommunicationSM (NVC) is a unique approach to communicating – thinking, speaking and listening – which guides us in transforming painful patterns of relating into new, compassionate ways of acting, expressing ourselves and hearing others. Developed by Dr. Marshall Rosenberg, this practical and proven process has been used around the world in war-torn countries; in schools, prisons, corporations, social change, health care and government institutions; and in intimate personal relationships. For more information see the Center for Nonviolent Communication website: www.cnvc.org
