Happy New Year!

Dear %user.name_f%,

Our dear friend, colleague and mentor, Jim Manske, passed away on December 22 after suffering complications from a recent surgery. He was surrounded by his loving family (Jori, Jiva, Jaya, Hannah, and Nora) and a dear friend.

Jim has contributed so much to so many of our lives, and words cannot express how much we will miss him. Please join us in extending virtual, loving energy to his family.

The session he was scheduled to lead with Jori Manske at the NVC Conference has been canceled. In its place, his best friend and fellow trainer, River Dunavin, will hold a remembrance where people can share their memories of Jim as we celebrate and honor all he's contributed to the NVC Conference and our lives over the years.

You're invited to join the memorial, which will take place on Sunday, February 2, from 1 to 3pm, clicking on this Zoom Link, during the NVC Conference.
