     Day 1: An Introduction to Nonviolent Communication (NVC) Applying NVC to Trauma Recovery
        Facilitated by Christa Morf, Certified NVC Trainer
Christa Morf brings her 30 years of experience of counseling individuals and couples into this foundation training. In 1989 she experienced the power of NVC for the first time. It became the missing puzzle piece: speaking from and hearing with the heart. Hearing with the ears of the heart brings a radical shift of connection with self and others. You will enhance your skills to express yourself honestly and clearly without blaming or judging as well as improve your ability to hear others with empathy, independent of how they express themselves.  

     Day 2 & 3: Applying NVC to Trauma Recovery
        Facilitated by Jonia Mariechild, M.S.
Day 2 and 3 will focus on deepening the NVC practice as it applies to healing trauma. Jonia Mariechild, M.S. has 20 years of experience in working with trauma recovery and holds a Master’s Degree in Allied Health Counseling. She is the Executive Director of The Healing Alliance, the non-profit that is sponsoring this event. She is in the process of completing her certification as an NVC trainer. Jonia’s work focuses on awareness in the body/mind and in her words, “My training as an NVC trainer is focused on equal opportunity for all emotions as well as the spiritual healing that comes with realizing the beauty of needs. I’m enthused to bring NVC to trauma recovery.”
