Drop-in Talk: Non-violent Communication with Dr. Sean Ross

This morning, we have a special guest speaker, Dr. Sean Ross on Non-violent Communication

Special Drop-in class/talk: Speaking Peace and Touching the Pure Land

What if we could see the beautiful needs behind all human behavior? What if we could learn to touch what was present and alive in us even during difficult circumstances? With the Buddha’s eyes and ears, the whole world speaks peace. Among the pioneers in developing and teaching this kind of consciousness, Marshall Rosenberg developed a communication method known as Non-violent communication, or NVC.

Dr. Sean Ross, from the Albuquerque NM Sangha, will visit and share how NVC saved his marriage, his wife’s life and was his path to the dharma. For those interested in further experience in NVC, he will stay after the usual Sunday service and hold a seminar on “Five skills to implement NVC everywhere”. Come join us.

Our Sunday practice includes voice and sitting meditation and other short practices that are designed to unfold presence and authentic spiritual expression.  Included in this Sunday morning practice is a talk or guided discussion segment that promotes deepening knowledge and insight into Buddhist teaching and practice.

Cost: $10.

A short Introduction to Meditation Training session will be held before the gathering at 9:45 a.m. (if volunteers are available)
