The quote from a former student reads, "A friend invited me to take this class. I had never heard about NVC before. It became an instantly accessible option for healing, unlike the stress of finding or paying for a therapist. For marginalized people especially, focusing the attention on your needs and feelings can feel foreign, and is too often discouraged. I took 101 again with my mom to help emotionally liberate us together." - ambar o.

Compassion Camp is coming up in a couple weeks and is almost sold out. If you want to come to Camp this summer, please register this week. I look forward to connecting with you and would hate for you to miss it.

There are still scholarships available for people identifying as BIPOC and for single parents, and there are also a couple of work trade positions available. Please check out the website at https://www.schoolofintegratedliving.org/compassion-camp/
