Expressing ourselves authentically and listening intently opens up the possibility of nourishing connections. We will practice active listening in the style of **nonviolent communication** (NVC).

Rules

1. 📷 Cameras must be turned on at the introduction and while speaking.
2. Speakers have the opportunity to share what's going on for them for up to 3 minutes. Sharing is optional.
3. Listeners (everyone else) take turns offering empathy guesses.
❤️ Ask: "**Are you feeling X because you need Y?**" Use the feelings and needs lists below.
❤️ Guess only 1 feeling and 1 need at a time. Keep it very brief.
👎 Refrain from advising, 👎diagnosing, 👎 sympathizing, or 👎encouraging.
4. I welcome but do not require donations. I suggest a $5 donation.
