In the Spotlight:
Social Change

NVC and Self-Compassion

This month, we shine the light on Social Change and what it really means to be “life-serving.” Rachelle Lamb describes Marshall Rosenberg's Vision of Social Change and challenges us to widen the lens of what it means to speak and hear the language of life.

How you treat yourself when you fall short of your own ideals, desires, and hopes can profoundly affect the quality of your life. Kathleen Macferran shows you how to identify your triggers and reactions and practice self-connection. 

Explore how to act with courage and imagination with Victor Lee Lewis, then hear Roxy Manning offer questions to think about how to deal when someone says "harm is being done.” Eddie Zacapa describes how we need to find and transform enemy images in order to influence and collaborate with those who seem to be standing in our way. And LoraKim Joyner addresses the sense of overwhelm that can impede holding the needs of the many.
