Some Comments from Participants in the Conscious Communication Workshop:

(Winter and Spring, 2006)

“If more people took this course, we would have a whole different world. I feel more skillful and confident in interacting with everyone.”

“I learned that a difference doesn’t mean right or wrong… What was outstanding was the possibility of shifting away from blaming self or other…. The skills bring hope and freshness to long-term relationships. It’s not easy to break old habits, but the course introduced new possibilities and we could feel that right away.”

“The communication techniques are immediately useful and can improve your relationships. I really enjoyed it and learned some wonderful things!”

“I became conscious that my behavior really stemmed from a need I had that wasn’t getting met. I learned how to be more direct and less judgmental of self and others.”

“I am more willing to address conflict…. I’ve never had such a feeling of enough time for discussion in a workshop…. Karen is delightful.”

“It’s radically transforming.”

“It’s kind of overwhelming how much there is to learn yet…. This could be life-changing. This could change the world.”

“In 30-some years of various kinds of therapy and self-help activities, Conscious Communication and NVC have offered the clearest theory and most specific and useful applications of it of any of them.”

“The course gave me hope for a new way to be in relationship.”

“I learned to approach conflict with the purpose of understanding and growing… I learned to take more risks to express feelings and needs and engage the other person.”

“This is an ‘out-of-the-box’ approach to dealing with conflict and encouraging compassion, conscious communication, and enlivened humanity. I highly recommend it!”

“I learned skills that will take the conflict out of seeing things differently…. I wish that long ago I had had the skills presented in this course.”

“What I found satisfying about the course was the honest exploration of conflict and the quality approaches to dealing with it.”
