Do you want to be welcoming of others without neglecting yourself?

Do you want to learn communication skills for transforming conflict?

Do you want to be a healing presence in the world?

Join us for one or all of these transformative Nonviolent Communication trainings

Six Sundays of Lent: February 22, March 1, 8, 15, 22, and 29

North Street Community Church, 235 North Street, Hingham, MA

Co-sponsored by Bethel Church of the Nazarene of Quincy and Heart-to-Heart

All are welcome. Sign up is free.

Now, perhaps more than ever, our culture needs people who are radically welcoming of others and themselves. Join us as we integrate the gospel call to love our neighbors as ourselves and Nonviolent Communication. This Lenten journey is designed to support people of faith and conscience in living the radical hospitality of Jesus, so needed in these times. Together, we will learn and practice radical hospitality, a rooted receptivity to all that is alive in ourselves and in others.

The six-week journey offers a chance to learn and grow in skills essential for all our relationships. We will draw on the powerful skills of Nonviolent Communication, developed by Dr. Marshall Rosenberg.

Are you interested in becoming a Heart-to-Heart trainer or assistant? Are you interested in helping us bring our life-changing work to people in or out of prisons? Then taking this series would be a great introduction.

Each week we will develop our capacity to live the radical hospitality embodied by Jesus

Heart-to-Heart helps people affected by incarceration to heal, thrive, and become the leaders they are called to be. We teach life-changing relationship skills in and out of correctional facilities. Our goal in this series is to equip people with the skills and consciousness needed to be healing agents in our society, fostering systems of restorative, not punitive justice, with hospitality for our returning citizens and all who need welcome.

Registration is free. By registering, we can prepare and send each week’s learning materials to you by email.
