Spring flowers could teach us a thing or two about seizing the day. Called “ephemerals,” these lovely, hardy souls have to get it all done—beef up, get gorgeous, flirt, get lucky, grow those babies, and send them off—in only a few weeks before they retreat back to their underground headquarters. Let’s go find them in their natural habitat—and get some hiking in while we’re at it!

Masham, QC
* Lunch Included
Pay what you like/can; Donations will support both our facilitator Emily as a new woman entrepreneur and the WILD Woman Bursary!
This full-day workshop (10 AM - 4 PM) is an opportunity to explore the transformative practice of Nonviolent Communication (NVC)—a tool for deeper connection, more compassionate conversations, and navigating conflict with care.
Our day will include an introduction to NVC, including exploring why it’s such a powerful tool, along with interactive and engaging activities to put it into practice.
More about NVC
Nonviolent communication (NVC) is both a tool and worldview synthesized and formalized by Dr. Marshall Rosenberg. It has been taught and used effectively all over the world in contexts as varied as schools, international conflict negotiations, families, intimate relationships, workplaces, social change and activism groups, healthcare and more. While simple, NVC has the disruptive potential to be part of catalyzing the paradigm shifts we need to bring about a world where we prioritize care of each other and the earth at a time when we have never needed that shift more. At minimum, NVC helps people to think more curious and compassionate thoughts about their own feelings, thoughts and actions, and with practice, can lead to more connected and harmonious relationships with others.
Meet Your Facilitator
Emily LeGrand is a long-time nonviolent communication student and enthusiast who is beginning to more formally offer the gift of NVC to others. She is an experienced and passionate project initiator, educator and facilitator who loves working where people, nature, movement and purpose meet, because that's where the magic resonant aliveness feeling happens.
