[IN-PERSON] Practice to speak and receive from the heart

[In-person only - note: as we won't have a facilitator for the weekly proposal of Sun 9 Aug, that date is skipped, we'll meet on the 16th!]

This practice session is facilitated by Caroline Lecureur and the theme is "Finding and expressing needs to my loved ones" with the Emotional Sandwich Method ─ related to chapters 5 "Taking responsability for our feelings", 6 "Requesting that would enrich life" and 8 "The power of Empathy" from Marshall Rosenberg's book "Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life". Participants are encouraged to read at least those chapters before the session, for Best learning and practice benefits.
