Dialogues for Social Change Fall 2022
Susan Wildin MD, Certified Professional Coach
In these difficult times when everyone seems to be taking sides, I want to support people working together to separate our perceptions and judgments from our deepest longings. I believe if we act from these longings, change can happen more effectively and without alienating others.
To create this connection to longing and a space of mutual connection and understanding between people across barriers of belief and judgment, I use a process I call Dialogues for Social Change which is based on the work of Marshall Rosenberg, PhD and Jim and Jori Manske. I will be sharing this process and basics of Nonviolent Communication online in 3 two-hour, weekly workshops Saturdays October 8, 15, and 22 from 1:30-3:30 pm.

NVC FUNDAMENTALS: Listening deeply to enhance our relationships
CNVC Certification Candidates Siddharth Shah and Jaya Sengupta lead this Fundamentals Course to NVC.
We cannot imagine transforming our relationships without developing the capacity for listening. The art of listening is both a gift to oneself and others. On one hand, it enhances self-connection, and on the other, it awakens compassion, which dissolves judgment and separation. NVC provides a step-by-step understanding of how to listen deeply to enhance our relationships.
So join us in a course on the fundamentals of listening on Zoom.
Invite your friends to join you.
The program is designed especially for audiences in South East Asia.
It will be conducted in 8 online sessions starting 8 October, every Saturday from 4-6 pm IST* (Indian Standard Time).
Nominal contribution of INR 5900^. Scholarships are available for people in need.

A lifetime learner, Jaya Sengupta, from India, has been honing the transformative power of communication, as a journalist, editor, and now a trainer.
As a NVC certification candidate, Jaya is inspired to create collaborative, restorative, brave spaces and grow as a curious, courageous, compassionate individual. A city girl, she now lives in the countryside to explore authentic self-sustainable living.
Jaya’s 12-week workshop: ‘Power of Words: Conflict to Connection,’ celebrates the idea of ‘doing things differently to make life more wonderful for all.’ It was recently made into a research publication in the European Journal of Training and Development.

aspiration for himself. NVC is a means for him to live this sensitivity without being indirect or compromising his authenticity. Sid is a founder of AneKant Labs.
