Compassionate Communication Group
Hybrid meetings will be on first and third Tuesdays at 7pm in the Common Room. For the summer, we will meet by Zoom only. Contact Suzanne King nvcsuz@gmail.com for Zoom link. During our practices, we learn to transform the thinking, language and moralistic judgments that keep you from the enriching relationships and start to resolve conflicts with more ease, learn to ask for what you want in ways that ensure you’ll receive it, begin to hear the true needs of others with less effort, strengthen your personal and professional relationships and start living to your full potential. Everyone is welcome. No prior experience needed.

Pathways to Membership is Sunday, July 21 at 8am in the Common Room. RSVP by July 17 via SignUpGenius, https://tinyurl.com/PathwaysJuly2024. Childcare available upon request. Questions or comments?

Making Friends with Conflict: Sunday, July 21, 2-4pm in the Common Room. Free Refreshments served. Life without conflict would be pretty boring and darn near impossible. So, how do we learn new ways of dealing with conflicts? Join us for a 2-hour workshop to explore individual conflict resolution styles and understanding how and when different styles are needed and important. With Omaha AVP's engaging and experiential facilitation, everyone's a learner and everyone's a teacher as we come together in fun and understanding. RSVP omahaavp@gmail.com or text Suzanne King 832.723.6630.
