Home for the Holidays with Meganwind Eoyang
 Winter holidays often bring us home for visits with family where we long to celebrate life and connect deeply with the people. It's an opportunity to open our hearts to whatever happens, and add compassion for ourselves and our family members to these family gathering times. We invite you to receive support for connecting and spending time with friends and family.In the "Home For The Holidays" series we will:  - explore ways to share heart connections
- reveal to others what's going on with us
- learn and celebrate what's going on with others
- care for ourselves in moments when the connection may not be what we'd hoped
- investigate expectations, hopes, fears, longings with humor and care
- address participants' real-life situations with empathy, expression and role plays
Begin building the kind of holidays you and your family will enjoy, and will savor later.To Register:

What people are saying about the BayNVC Leadership Program

I see the world with so much more beauty and clarity now, reveling in the joy I experience both sharing and living NVC. My relationships are so much richer, more nourishing and more loving. And I have a real sense of meaning as I move out into the world, sharing NVC both directly and indirectly."
