Presentation on Nonviolent Communication and the work of Sandhi Institute in Sri Lanka. Gave talk to about 40-50 people at the University on Monday evening, 26th April. In English with Italian translation. I enjoyed it very much. There was a lot of enthusiasm from many of the people who came. We are now organizing a 2 day introductory training in May. Will post the details of that here soon as we have it finalized. Below is the announcement about the Florence University presentation for anyone interested:

Coming back to life (from numbness or apathy) by touching our gratitude for life which can unleash our grief for the pain of the world and by connecting to that heartbreak and grief, we can take empowered action which is coming from being connected to the fierce love for the earth and the beings of the earth that underlies the grief. My short description of the inspiring work of Joanna Macy. For more details, see her website: www.joannamacy.net

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

We are excited to announce our Launch/Opening event for the Foundation for Sandhi Insitute which was set up early this year in The Netherlands to fund raise for the work of Sandhi Institute, Sri Lanka.

Sandhi Institute is open again after last year's hiatus, and we'll be teaching an introductory workshop in Nonviolent Communication, on the weekend of April 4 and 5 in Colombo.

This workshop is open to anyone who wants to learn what this NVC stuff is about. After 2 days you will leave with some ideas for how to improve your relationships at work, at home, and wherever you may find yourself challeneged in communicating with others.
