Practice sensing and expressing what’s alive in you moment by moment with the NVC ingredients – observation, feeling, need and request. Then others in the group respond likewise. Facilitated and with some teaching, we will interact back and forth to build connection and fulfill requests to meet each others’ present needs by tapping into the innate compassion and resourcefulness of the group. Let’s live NVC by being real, present, and alive together.
