Classes and Events

Kind Communication Free Introductory Evening
Tried Stone Missionary Baptist Church Fellowship Hall
100 Carroll Street
Tuesday, April 17, 7 - 8 pm
There will be three classes after that, on Mondays (April 23, 30, and May 14);
a love offering will be requested. Please tell your friends!

In these classes participants will learn to speak in a way that emphasizes universal feelings and needs, rather than blame and judgment, guilt and shame. We will engage in active listening exercises and discover avenues to self-empathy. The aim is for deeper connection that allows everyone's voice to be heard and needs to be met.

You will learn: to replace disempowering words like "I should" or "I have to" with empowering language of choice to distinguish between an observation and an evaluation (Telling the truth without blame or judgment) to differentiate between feelings, thoughts and interpretations and to connect more deeply with your feelings to explore and express the needs that drive feelings and behaviors to make requests, rather than demands, in a way that will help you meet your needs to give empathy and listen for the feelings and needs of others beneath their words to deal compassionately with anger (your own, and others')
