Martin Luther King Jr. observed that, “You have no influence over people who can sense
your underlying contempt.” Yet how can we be free of contempt when we’re certain
the beliefs and actions of another group or person are harmful and “wrong”? In this workshop, drawing on the principles of Nonviolent Communication, we will begin to explore how we can “speak truth to power” in a way that others can hear us---even
when they may have opposing views we find inaccurate, harmful, and challenging.

Requested Contribution: Sliding Scale: $20 - $40.
