The practice of NVC is transformative because it goes deep into the heart of the matter: our needs, and the needs of others we relate with. Being aware of our needs can help us understand our own motivations, and move closer together, even when we are holding or discussing potentially difficult topics.

Join this two-session workshop to understand what universal human needs are, how they show up in our lives, and how we can use our feelings to build greater needs awareness. Part II is offered on April 23. 

What to bring: Bring an open mind and heart and place yourself in a calm and peaceful environment to experience the depth of needs in its fullness.

Ranjitha began her career as a communications professional, and for the last six years worked in the non-profit sector, in the space of mental health awareness. She brings her skills from both of these spaces to the work she does now.

"For the last couple of years, I've been exploring ways in which I can make cooking extremely simple: how do you break down complicated-sounding recipes to clear instructions anyone can follow and apply? My approach to sharing Nonviolent Communication is similar; it's about how we can begin exploring and living these principles in our daily lives, starting from where we are now."
