I can’t make all of the sessions. Will there be recordings?
To honor participants’ privacy, the sessions will not be recorded. Community is an important aspect of the program’s vitality. The group size is limited to eight people maximum to create a more personalized program. And the course content builds on previously covered material. Those interested in participating are requested to consider if they can commit to attending all sessions before registering, missing no more than one session over the eight weeks.
What is unique about this program?
This is the only divorce* support program with a foundation in Marshall Rosenberg’s Nonviolent Communication (NVC). NVC is a simple and powerful way of relating around values, which brings about more effectiveness in any area to which it’s applied. People learning and practicing this in their relationships often report that they finally have a sense of understanding and being understood.
