Drs. Hema and Manda Pokharna from Chicago have brought non-violent communication to Bangalore, India, with an intensive training session.
The nine-day workshop is led by Dr. Marshall Rosenberg, who is the Director of the Center of Nonviolent Communication, and by other certified trainers, including Hema and Manda Pokharna.
Hema and Manda travel around the world teaching NVC, whose vision is a world where all people have their needs met and resolve conflicts peacefully. In this vision, people are trained using NVC to create and participate in networks of worldwide life-serving systems in economics, education, justice, healthcare, and peacekeeping. Training empowers participants to create life-serving systems within themselves and with others.
About hundred participants from south Asia and other places throughout the world attended the programme.
