How many times have you heard yourself say, “I should do this” or “I shouldn't do that?” How does it feel to do something because you genuinely want to, instead of doing it because you think you have to or should? Doing things out of fear, guilt, shame, duty, or obligation can build resentment and make the people, jobs, projects, and obligations in our lives feel like burdens. When it comes to choices and personal relationships, we feel most empowered and liberated when we know we have the freedom to make our own choices and maintain our own sense of autonomy.
Join us for this special Passover-themed workshop with community member Rachel Bennish, who will draw from the teachings of nonviolent communication as taught by Marshall Rosenberg.
