Non-Violent Communication
Cara Graver
Wednesday, May 15
7:00 - 9:30 p.m.
$25 per person
NVC can be seen as both a spiritual practice and a concrete set of skills which help us clarify our needs and discover how to meet them. Our task is to become self responsible as well as to honor, not necessarily meet, the needs of the other by means of the empathy guess. Consciousness continues to offer us opportunities to step out of story and into the light. Every time it comes in a slightly different message saying “have you thought about it this way?”
Join us to experience this process together discerning our own feelings and needs to more clearly see a life-affirming alternative for healing lingering discomfort.
Cara Graver is a certified holistic life coach working through NVC to help clients choose strategies that are less costly and more effective for taking back their power and meeting their needs. She lives in Chester Springs, PA where she also offers Open Studio sessions at The Cob Studio, a hand sculpted pottery workshop.

Firefly Story Slam
CommUnity Friendraiser
Saturday, May 18
7:00-9:30 p.m.
$25 per person | $40 for each couple
We are excited to offer our second Firefly Story Slam Friendraiser. Bring your own refreshments and bring your friends! This will be another night to remember and a way to connect more deeply with the commUnity.
If you feel inspired, please come prepared with a 5 minute personal story which includes a beginning, middle and meaningful end. The way it works is you put your name in the hat. People's names will be drawn one at a time as the evening proceeds. Most likely if your name is in the hat you will get called. You do not need to be a storyteller; as we greatly appreciate listeners, too!

Integrity, authenticity, vulnerability are profound influences in creating our worldview, which determines how we interact throughout our lives. If you are unaware of your worldview, you will remain unaware of what’s in the way of demonstrating your dreams. Taking a sobering look at your worldview is a step toward the freedom of co-creation.
Rev. Dr. Michelle is an inspiring and exciting Master Teacher and sought-after Prayer Practitioner. Michelle is the co-founder of Planned Happiness Institute and the PHI Coaching Academy with her husband Rev. Neil Pinkman. Michelle founded the Center for Spiritual Living North Jersey 19 years ago and is the author of six books.
