<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Dear Learner:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 8pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">I want to let you know about
an upcoming communication class being held in Brattleboro this Winter/Spring, "Staying
Connected in Conflict: Conscious Communication Skills."<span style=""> </span>The Conscious Communication Institute was
started by Sandra Boston in 2000, after teaching classes for almost thirty
years. It includes the work of Marshall Rosenberg, Thomas Gordon, Gandhi, and
others in the field of conflict resolution.<span style="">
</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 8pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">For some, this class gives us
the first in-depth practice of the skills for conflict resolution.<span style=""> </span>For others, it rejuvenates our commitment to
conscious communication and lets us hone our skills with others. Some of us
have taken this class many times! The series will be held on six consecutive
evenings and is divided so that a participant may sign up for all or some of
the individual sessions.<span style=""> </span>I am hoping for
around ten participants who want to invest in this work at this time. The dates
and times are on the enclosed flyer.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 8pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">I would appreciate your
forwarding this on to anyone you know who might benefit from this course.<span style=""> </span>Please call with questions or for more
information.<span style=""> </span>Wishing you well in these
complicated times.</span></p>
