Dear %user.name_f%,

Jim here.

Our open-hearted practice group - Discovering the Essence of Nonviolent Communication - has been meeting for a couple of months now.

I'm enjoying the many multi-cultural flavors of our group, as well as the wide range of skill levels from beginners to certified trainers.

And I'm appreciating the in-session flow we have created together, the quality of sharing and interaction in each of our sessions.

We're grateful you're a part of this group, %user.name_f%

In the couple of months that we've been meeting, we've looked at a number of different Nonviolent Communication skills:

• Presence
• Observing
• Feelings Awareness
• Self-Acceptance
• Taking Ownership of One's Feelings
• Self-Empathy
• Request Consciousness

It's been so satisfying to hear that our topic discussions are increasing our participants' awareness, self-connection, their personal growth and their learning.

This is music to our ears!

We hope you are experiencing many met needs in our sessions!

The NVC Academy, Jori and I offer these classes in the spirit of compassionate giving and receiving. So this group is - and will continue to be - completely free to attend. 

The NVC Academy covers all the expenses, and we are so grateful for their generosity. Now, we’d like to give back to them and to energize the flow of compassionate resources by creating opportunities for participants like you to make donations - this is one of them!

Contributing is entirely voluntary — you are valued and welcome at the group regardless of whether or not you make a contribution.

If you would like to support the NVC Academy's efforts in making NVC available to people across the world, no matter their ability to pay, please contribute to the Community Support Fund, via this link. 100% of money contributed goes directly to the community fund.

In the last few years, community contributions have helped the NVC Academy to give over 430 scholarships — this opens the door for people to deepen their Nonviolent Communication practice by attending live courses, without financial barriers.

If you choose to give to the Community Support Fund, please let Jim and Jori know as they would like to savor your giving! You can email them at radicalcompassion@gmail.com.

Thank you for considering this request! 

Warmly, Jim Manske PS Don't forget, all the replays of our weekly practice sessions are available on the NVC Academy's YouTube channel here.
