Request a Training in your Community!

Submitted on Oct 15, 2018

Do you yearn for a vibrant NVC community where you live? And perhaps you are wondering how to make that happen? One way is to partner with ORNCC to create a training in your community. This past year ORNCC board members offered several trainings on a volunteer basis as a way to spread Compassionate Communication in Oregon and to fundraise for ORNCC.

Empathy Tent up and running in Eugene

Submitted on Mar 29, 2017

Eugene's Saturday Market opens for the season on Saturday, April 1st and the Empathy Tent will be there again this year!
