Nonviolent Communication Presentation-International Month of Peace
Ambassadors for Peace Association of Oregon* Invites you to a presentation: Creating Peace with Empathy and Understanding. Kathy Masarie MD and Jody Bellant Scheer, MD will introduce compassionate communication, a powerful tool for creating the quality of communication, trust, respect and cooperation in your relationships with others and with yourself. It is based on the premise that feelings and needs are at the core of all human behavior, which allows one to connect with empathy with others, no matter what their behaviors look like. This approach, based on Nonviolent Communication by Marshall Rosenberg, can bring a sense of peace and calmness in our lives that we all long for.
