Subject: Driving change: from home to society
Preheader: [new course starts November 21]

Hi %user.name_f%, 

I’ve had countless students of the Academy tell me how much Nonviolent Communication (NVC) has shaped their interactions with their loved ones, friends and co-workers.

Improving personal relationships is a common driver for people when they first discover NVC.

Myself included. 

Perhaps NVC has helped you:

But how can we use our NVC skills to make change at a more collective level? To make a societal change?

Have you wondered if it’s possible, %user.name_f%?

I believe it is!

Starting on Tuesday November 21 at 9AM Pacific (California) Time, Sophie Docker and Sarri Bater will discuss NVC with a Systemic Lens: How Far We’ve Come, Why it Matters, and What is Needed Now.

In this 4-session course you can expect to: 

• Learn what is meant by a systemic lens, and how to bring a systemic lens to your individual experiences 
• Discuss where we think we are as a community - what’s going well? What’s stuck? 
• Understand the components of the societal systems you live in 
• Deepen your understanding of inequitable power of systems and how you can use NVC to address these
