First Class Free!

Greetings!
I find myself looking forward to my monthly Bulletin letter because I am so delighted to unveil some of the changes that are happening at BayNVC! This month's big news ----drumroll---- is the first class of every Foundations I series will be free! In evaluating our efforts, we have noticed that less than 20% of the people who take our intro class continue on to any of our other classes or workshops. Since our intros take a lot of work to setup, we thought offering the first Foundations class free would serve the two-fold purpose of minimizing our effort while still allowing people to have a taste of our offering before they sign up. Beginning in July, people who are curious about NVC are invited to come to a free Foundations class, and then are invited to continue with the Foundations series if they want to learn more. As always, I would love to hear any feedback from you about this and other changes we are making. Feel free to email me with your thoughts - Dorrit@BayNVC.org. Dorrit Geshuri, Executive Director |

Embracing the Gandhian approach and upholding the humanity of our "enemies" lead to other strategies to create change. Read Full Article.
