Counselling

[close] For those interested in improving their understanding of the human mind - theirs and others'.

[close] Women's Fiction explores family relationships, women's life experiences, women's issues, and generational sagas. This group is for authors to share their women's fiction books (no erotica please) and also for readers to discover new writers of women's fiction. Please feel free to join and add your books for reading if you are an author and think your books fit this category, or if you are a reader who enjoys women's fiction.

[close] Inspired by the late Marshall Rosenberg, and his needs-based communication, in this group people from all walks of life meet to share about their experiences with NVC, to learn about it, to ask for help and offer it, respectively. This is an informal place to "talk NVC". For (more) formal training, please visit www.cnvc.org, or your local training group which you can find, hopefully, through your favorite search engine. I (Jerry) am an author and e-counselor, using mostly NVC in my practice, as well as in my writing; hence whatever knowledge of NVC I have, I'll be happy to share with anyone, and thrilled to learn more from any of you!

[close] Supplementing our education with counseling-related materials we are passionate about within a supportive space. We welcome the pleasant or unpleasant shock that comes with embodied knowledge. We meet once a month to discuss a book, podcast or research that we individually or collectively have sat with. We share perspectives, connect with each other, and engage in respectful, vigor-filled discussion. Meetings and Books: 12/1 @ 10 a.m. Book: One or more chapters of "Every Day Is a Good Day: Reflections by Contemporary Indigenous Women" by Wilma Mankiller (see event invite and currently reading for ebook links) January Meeting Book: One or more chapters of "Pleasure Activism: The Politics of Feeling Good" by Adrienne Maree Brown (see discussion for ebook link)
