Join us for a monthly, self-led group to practice compassionate communication, with an emphasis on parenting/family.
The compassionate communication practiced in the group is a communication approach using techniques and ideas inspired by Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life by Marshall Rosenberg. It is a way to communicate peacefully while addressing the needs of everyone involved and models gentle, empathetic, and assertive communication to our children. For more information and other local resources on Compassionate Communication visit the Oregon Network of Compassionate Communication and Wise Heart.
Once the group is established, we will bring in a speaker to provide a training.

FYI - there is a wonderful NVC parenting series going on in NE Portland called Parenting from the Heart, more info here: http://insideoutschoolhouse.wordpress.com/2009/01/30/nvcparenting/
and I highly recommend the Portland Unconditional Parenting yahoo group for those who want to connect with others who are parenting respectfully and compassionately: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/UP-Portland/
We have almost 200 members, and I think they'd like to hear about this practice group too!
