Phases of the Moon, the newsletter of the Maine NVC Network
Volume Seven, Issue Eight:
NVC & Social Change, Part 2
Our newsletter appears approximately once a month. Our purpose is to contribute to the NVC learning of people who have taken at least an NVC Level 1 workshop, and help us stay connected as we endeavor to deepen a culture of peace within ourselves, our families and the world. We believe a Level 1 offers so many new ways of thinking that additional support for learning and integration could be helpful.
We endeavor to make each edition informative, connecting, inspiring and fun. Please let us know how the newsletter might contribute to your NVC well-being. Email: newsletter at mainenvcnetwork.org
In continuation of our current focus on Social Change, in lieu of a feature article, we offer three links that we find very inspiring.
