[Downtown Dharma Sangha Listserv] Next book club July 19 - Marshall Rosenberg's, "Nonviolent Communication - A Language of Life"

Dear sangha,

Mark your calendars: our next reading group discussion + potluck will be Friday, July 19 at 6:30pm. Gauri will host at her place next to Meridian Hill Park. Kristen Wall has generously offered to facilitate our discussion.

Together we'll be returning to the topic of relational dharma, specifically nonviolent communication.  It has been a year since we last visited as a book club, and this time we will be going to the source:  Marshall Rosenberg's Nonviolent Communication - A Language of Life.   The intention behind returning to the topic is to discuss practical approaches to learning and living NVC and how we can support each other's practice as a sangha.

You can RSVP for the book club here:
