Intimate relationships can be wonderful, contributing to the quality of our lives in profound ways. Many of us are partnered, and many of us wish we were. Yet, all too often, relationships don't live up to our fantasies of what we wish for. Often, we imagine that things might be better with a different partner. But those who move on to a different partner often find old patterns repeating. Whatever relationship we are in, we bring ourselves -- and our assumptions about relationships and strategies for navigating them.
Capital NVC’s Community Circle has been focusing on ways to connect those practicing and interested in NVC with each other in the DC area. We are excited to invite you to a day of NVC social gathering! We hope to encourage a large group to join together to share presence and connection from 11am to 5pm on February 25 at Maitri House in Takoma Park, MD.
Money concerns getting in the way of your living your life as you would like?
For our last meeting before the holidays, our Baltimore monthy workshop will use the Four-Ears exercise and focus on connecting empathically with ourselves and another when we are in a difficult situation. Since connecting empathically with another is rooted in self-connection, we will spend part of our time on self-empathy practices.
This meeting is something between a practice group and a workshop -- come once because the topic interests you or come every month for practice and connection.
