“I have been living in a community home with Mair Alight for about three years and over this time, have been more and more impressed by the way she truly lives what she teaches. The way she talks about Nonviolent Communication is clear and refreshing. I think she has the ability to make good communication and self love accessible to everyone she comes into contact with.” -Sadie LeDonna - May 24th, 2018

Mair Alight is committed to the vision of creating and participating in building worldwide networks of life-serving systems including, but not limited to education, economics, justice, health care, peace keeeping. It is my hope that you will support her in her efforts towards implementing social change." Warmly, Marshall B.

"I have known Mair since 2002, when she attended the BayNVC Leadership Program. I appreciate, in particular, her deep passion for meaning, her dedication to authenticity and full human connection, and her humor and courage in responding to challenges. I trust her understanding of NVC and her continued immersion in learning and clarifying concepts and processes. I am impressed by what I see as her ability to see and reach human beings across a wide range of demographics and experiences and offer meaningful healing and learning to others." - Miki Kashtan, Lead Trainer, Strategic Vision, Bay Area Nonviolent Communication (BayNVC) www.BayNVC.org
