Grassroots Practice Opportunities?

Announcement: Saint Louis Metropolitan area NVC group seeks individuals for NVC practice and peer support

I was recently contacted by a community member interested in learning more about non-violent communication.  He had hoped I was an NVC trainer and that I might have openings in a practice group... but I had to disappoint him.  I'm not a trainer -- I'm not even trained, in fact.  But his request reminded me that I joined this website because I do care deeply about non-violence.  I also love the ideas that are represented through the work of the Center for Non-Violence Communication.

So here's my idea!  If you're local to Saint Louis, Missouri, why not get together with me and other interested persons?  If nothing else, we could start a brainstorming session about how to engage with NVC ideas in the context of our regular jobs, neighborhoods, friendships and families.  If our schedules match up, we could have a regular group meeting for NVC practice and for mutual support.

Personally, I need two or three other folks walking alongside of me in order to turn ideas into action, and actions into lifestyle.  If you're in a similar spot, please contact me and we'll see what momentum we can generate towards this goal.

Thanks for reading!
