Welcome!
In brief…
You can learn more about my [Pamela's] Nonviolent Communication resource-blog, streetgiraffes.com, as well as our free, monthly NVC sangha (telepractice) here:
(Link above is comprised of a drop down menu, which is partially alphabetized, midway through.)
Our sangha is a dialogue-lab that draws inspiration from a variety of influences, including John Kinyon's 3Chairs Conversations Project.
We most often meet on the second Sunday of each month at 7 pm/ET (email us to receive all the relevant contact information to join in).
Please also feel free to reach out with any questions and/or feedback you may have, as well.
Best mediate one's life wishes and may your forays be fruitful,
@PamelaLBeck (a.k.a. @StreetGiraffe)

What is a sangha?
by Thich That Hahn
"A sangha is a community of friends practicing the dharma together in order to bring about and to maintain awareness. The essence of a sangha is awareness, understanding, acceptance, harmony and love..." (continues: www.lionsroar.com/the-practice-of-sangha)
Quotes by Marshall Rosenberg:
"Every time I mess up is a chance to practice."
"Never question the beauty of what you are saying because someone reacts with pain, judgment, criticism. It just means they have not heard you."
"Our survival as a species depends on our ability to recognize that our well-being and the well-being of others are in fact one and the same."
