OUR NEXT SERVICE (10AM - Sunday, October 4th)
Empowerment for Rapidly Changing Times: using Nonviolent Communication
Please welcome Nora Heiber and her reflections on the importance of Non Violent Communications. Nora is a Senior Negotiator for the American Guild of Musical Artists, driven by a vision to blend compassion and kindness with power and influence. A non-adversarial approach to negotiating collective bargaining agreements for performing artists—one rooted in empathy, connection, authenticity and courage was not easily found in the innately adversarial culture of union negotiating. Nora will share her experience with Nonviolent Communication (NVC) by Marshall Rosenberg as a foundation for effective conflict resolution. Along with CNVC Certified Trainer Aya Caspi, and Nora founded Reclaiming Life, a project offering NVC training to individuals and groups worldwide. Today Nora offers mediation services privately and through the Conflict Resolution Center of Nevada County, where she now serves as a board member and volunteer as part of their court program.
