Some background on Compassionate Communication and our workshop leader:
Compassionate Communication is not only a way of communicating but also a way perceiving our actions and the actions of others. It supports finding ways to mutually support strategies to meet our collective needs. It is beneficial not only for interpersonal communication but also for self awareness, group collaboration and social change. (CNVC.org)
