Hello Hello,
It has been quite some time since you have all heard from me or Gregg.
There is so much I want to update you on; however at this time I am feeling more compelled to talk about our Manhattan Liaison, Shana Deane and Restorative Circles.
I'd like to take this opportunity to welcome another trainer to our Community. Shana Deane (our Manhattan Liaison on our Meet up) is a wonderful friend and teacher I have known for about four years now. She is an integral part of our lives and learning, as well as being an Associate Trainer with Brooklyn NVC. Ms. Deane has been studying and practicing Restorative Circles since 2007, with another NVC trainer I have heard so much about, his name is Dominic Barter.
Gregg, Shana and Brooklyn NVC (aka) Dian Killian, all speak very highly of Dominic Barter's unique NVC-oriented Restorative Circles, which is what he will be teaching and sharing in NYC this March over a three day period. This is his first teaching event on the east coast! (He lives in Brazil, where he has spent the past 11 years honing this transformative process that fits in with any arena. I.e.: schools, families, communities, organizations, prisons, etc. )
I am so excited for the opportunity to experience Dominic and his work in person. The circles were spoken about at the Diversity retreat I attended over the summer and my daughter, who will be attending this event as well, was grateful to learn about a different way to restore connection.
I am looking forward learning, growth, and another way to apply the principles of NVC in to our existing systems. Let me know if you would like to travel as a group that would be fun! Please feel free to pass this along to any person you think might be interested.
