<P>Dear Friends, </P>
<P><B>Nonviolent Communication (NVC)</B> is a way of thinking, a process and a
language of empathy and honesty. It can strengthen our ability to connect with
others, as well as ourselves, in fulfilling ways that can affect the health of
our families, our relationships with friends and co-workers, our intimate
relationships, our political and other social change circles, and ultimately our
communities and the world. </P>
<P>I am delighted that We, The World is co-sponsoring this powerful professional
level NVC introductory training workshop. See below for a full description. If
you or your friends are in New York this weekend, I hope you will be there! </P>

<P><FONT face=Tahoma size=3>This training is for anyone who knows what NVC is
and wants an introductory training on a professional level. Many people learn
NVC in Practice Groups or 1 to 3 hour classes. Although this is a very viable
way to learn NVC, it does not provide the movement and intensity many beginners
want. Additionally, many people who are learning NVC want to work with a
Certified Trainer to be sure they are getting a clear understanding of what NVC
is and what it is not.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma size=3>The NVC Discovery Intensive takes us from the very
beginning to a deeper understanding of the meaning and implications NVC has in
our lives and for the Universe at large.</FONT> <FONT face=Tahoma size=3>We will
practice to responding and communicating consciously by expressing and hearing,
based on what we are <SPAN class=txthiaccent>observing, feeling, needing,</SPAN>
and <SPAN class=txthiaccent>requesting</SPAN>.</FONT></P>
<P align=left><FONT face=Tahoma size=3>Through the introduction of concepts in
combination with experiential exercises, demonstrations role plays and more,
participants will learn about the background, philosophy and concepts of NVC and
have a first hand experience of practicing it.<BR><BR><B><FONT size=4>Topics

<P><BIG><B>This is Thom Bond's ONLY scheduled introductory level workshop in New
York City. Below are some quotes from some of Thom's previous workshop
participants and students.</B></BIG></P>
<P><FONT face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">"An amazingly clear, informative,
succinct, on-time, and interesting presentation "</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">"I very much appreciate having a
framework for practicing these skills, and as a result of our sessions, am
inspired to continue working on this."</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">"Thom initiated and supported a
safe, non-judgemental, comfortable and honest climate (felt safe and comfortable
enough to share my examples with the group and to speak honestly)."</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">"Thom's 200% energy, left us with
some very tangible tools that we were all working with all week. It really is
such a different way of thinking and relating to others, and even those that
were resistant to how different it was from their ways of
communicating/expression got something out of it."</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">"Working with Thom has changed my
life... really"</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">"Thom is by profession an
organizational trainer, and he brings this confidence and skill to the table
when he does a training."</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">"Thom's style as teacher is one
that is filled with personal stories and examples that are appropriate and
thoughtful. He does not place himself above anyone else." </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">"Thom supports and contributes to
people from his heart because he really cares about the future of our planet
with non violence as the beacon of hope."</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">"What I love most about Thom's
skill as a teacher is his incredible imagination and prowess at coming up with
exercises or demos that are fun and engaging. He is extremely adept at thinking
on his feet and reading the temperature of the group. I have seen him
demonstrate this time and again, particularly in challenging
situations."</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">"Thom meets you where you are and
offers appropriate guidance and focus."</FONT></P>
<P><BIG><B>Some words from Thom about his work.</B></BIG></P>
<P><FONT face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Many people think of Nonviolent
Communication as a "model" or a "method." It is that and so much more. I
believe, to truly practice NVC, we must go to our hearts and minds and create a
partnership within, to create new perspectives and consciousness. No small
chore, but doable.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">I believe NVC can be a part of our
evolution as individuals and eventually a global culture, where conflict shows
us ways to support life, not destroy it. NVC gives us all a new way to see the
world. A way to recognize the "habitual" thoughts and words we use and choose
"Life connecting" thoughts and words. When we do this, life becomes more
wonderful. Really. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">After teaching for over 20 years
and teaching NVC for over 5 years, I have come to dedicate myself to supporting
a global shift, one person at a time. I am thrilled, honored and eternally
grateful to share NVC. </FONT></P><FONT
