Empathy and NVC Practice @ Unity of the Valley

Join Michael Dreiling and a growing group of empathy practitioners for our twice-monthly introduction and practice session in Nonviolent Communication (NVC).  We meet on the first and third Sundays at 12:15-1:30 at Unity of the Valley's "Treehouse Room" in south Eugene. 

These sessions offer an overview and Q and A about NVC followed by small group sessions that include opportunities to practice NVC and cultivate empathetic presence. During these sessions, Dreiling will provide templates and examples for practicing self-empathy and offer links and news about other resources for learning. 

Dr. Dreiling’s approach to empathy begins by bringing awareness to the immediate present, the Now, by noticing what life has to say in this moment, in the body, mind, and heart. NVC practice provides a foundation for this mindfulness practice to elevate empathy in our inner/outer conversations and relationships.
