Date: Sunday, March 29th, 3-5pm EST
Location: ONLINE (Zoom link provided after registration and about 24 hrs. before the session)**
For questions contact Sal Corbin at sal.corbin@yahoo.com.

Our close relationships are challenged by societal stress, trauma, and mental health. The concept and connection of family has been affected by current events resulting in violence. This calls us to deepen our listening and caregiving for our "family" members. We will combine restorative and nonviolent practices to build skills to support positive, thriving, empowered relationships and can transform how we show up in our relationships. In this session we ask: How can we navigate effective communication to best repair broken relationships and/or reconnect with our loved ones? Join us to share and receive ideas and experiences to position our hearts and minds to show up with a reframed best self and avoid repeating negative patterns such as codependency, abuse, and neglect. Attachment, boundaries, co-dependency and intergenerational communication will be explored as well as new ways of being into this new year.

Workshop Topics:
1) Trust & Communication
2) Enabling v. Empowering Boundaries
3) Visiting Restoration (Radical Compassion - Engaging with relationships in a “radical” way)
