[Downtown Dharma Listserve] "Respectful Confrontation in DC Launch of 1st monthly gathering April 10

Hi all,

I wanted to pass along this event announcement that was forwarded to me.  I don't know much about this approach, but I'm thinking of going and thought it might be of interest to like-minded folks.

 

Cheers,

Danya

Here is the description I received:

"Many of you have probably already been hearing about the awesome work being doing by a guy named Joe Weston on "Respectful Confrontation" (sort of a suped up version of nonviolent communication techniques but even better if you ask me, and grounded in martial arts philosophy and contemplative practices like mindfulness meditation. Joe recently moved from Cali to DC. I went to part of a recent training by him and really loved it. Very solid guy doing important work that we could all really benefit from. Please pass along this event to others in this like-minded community"
