Empathy dispells separation and other-ness by connecting us to our shared humanity. The ability to “feel with” another is an important precursor for compassion. Join Sunil Joseph as we explore the use of Nonviolent Communication (NVC) to cultivate empathy in our relationships – with self and other. No prior knowledge of NVC is necessary and all are welcome! Drop ins to either class are welcome.

About Sunil: I started studying Nonviolent Communication (NVC) with Itara O’Connell in 2004. After attending NVC practice groups with Itara for a few years, I attended the year-long NVC Leadership Program in 2008 with Bay NVC in Oakland. NVC continues to have a transformational effect on my professional and personal life, along with other practices like movement, meditation, etc. It has deepened the quality of relationships in my life, with myself and others. After all these years of exploring this work, I am still amazed at the power and simplicity this approach offers for meeting challenging experiences and interactions in a skillful way. While I am not a certified NVC trainer, I feel happy when I can contribute to other’s wellbeing by sharing the fruits of my personal practice. I consider myself a lifelong NVC learner and explorer.
