Art of Communication Festival

Join us for a day to explore compassionate communication with family members, friends, co-workers, community members—and with yourself.

The morning begins with “Conflict Improv” in which the teachers will try to resolve conflicts suggested by the audience. Attendees can choose from nine mini-workshops. Tim Hartnett is a local Marriage and Family Therapist who organizes the Family Heart Camp each summer. He will teach a workshop on SETTING LIMITS WITH COMPASSION. Jean Morrison will lead a workshop on EXPRESSING REGRETS. Rick and Aviva Longinotti will lead a workshop on couples communication called BECOMING NON-DEFENSIVE. Armando Alcaraz will lead THE MUSIC OF NEEDS. And Google communication trainer, Earl Wagner, will lead PRAGMATIC NVC, on communicating in the workplace.

We’re very happy that some teachers who you may not know will be joining us. To see their workshop descriptions and bios go to NVCsantacruz.org.
