> Decolonization of Mind - Discussion Group - January Meeting
> ===========================================================
> Topic: Authentic Personal Engagement Via Non-Violent Communication
> ==================================================================
>
> Next meeting – Tuesday, January 13, 2015, at 12:30PM (we go until
> 2:00PM)
>
> Note - we meet on the second Tuesdays of each month, so please mark your
> calendars.
>
> Building on the introduction to the language of Non-Violent Communication
> (NVC) provided by Kelly Larson and Sandy Marshall at our December 2014
> meeting, Michael and Maria Teresa will help us explore how "NVC
> consciousness" can inform and enhance our interactions in the world. They
> will present the principles underlying "universal dialog", "unconditional
> positive regard", "empathic listening", and "engaging the third chair",
> and will suggest ways in which application of these principles can
> transform seemingly irreconcilable communications into opportunities for
> connection. The possibility of authentic personal engagement can then show
> up, as distinct from falling into the programmed thinking and reacting
> patterns that the larger culture encourages us to employ (separation,
> victimhood, etc.).
>
> Maria Teresa and Michael have been studying NVC with Miki Kashtan and
> other NVC teachers for several years.  They lead an NVC class alternate
> Mondays in Mendocino.  Michael has completed the 'Mediate Your Life'
> program that applies NVC principles to mediation and is certified as a
> mediator by the Recourse mediation program in Sonoma County.
>
>
> This meeting will be held at John Anderson's house in Caspar - Brown Bag
> DIY Lunch. Thanks so much to John for his hospitality hosting the group
> (and also for Linda's hospitality in prior months). John's address is
> 14951 B Caspar Rd., which is an older redwood building just south of the
> Caspar Inn, in downtown Caspar. Go around to the back of the building and
> up the stairs to find the second floor unit, which is unit B. All are
> welcome.

> Questions about the group or the meeting can be directed to Charles
> Cresson Wood at ccwood at ix.netcom.com.
