Course Description: 

10:00AM-6:00PM (includes lunch!)
(Adults and youth13 and up with a parallel program for children 7 to 12)
A full day of post-introductory skill-development and practice using a variety of learning modes. Portions of the training, including our sumptuous lunch, will be intergenerational!
Learn the basics and/or deepen your skills in "collaborative" and "authentic" communication, finding ways to make accurate observations, state your needs and feelings clearly and respond to those of others with compassion. Using role play, games, and individual and group exercises, we will explore practical skills to support a consciousness of curiosity, openness, mutuality, care and trust in the building of relationships. Register for one day or both. Families/RE teachers especially welcome!

Children’s Program developed and facilitated by:
