Dear Shona
You ask:
I would love to hear how people feel reading this and also if anyone else has stories of nvc in schools I would love to hear them in order to meet my need for inspiration.
I feel inspired and as my first email of the day real celebration!!! Remembering Tameside I have an image of row upon row of people, smiling, talking, sharing excitement and having a huge "Yes!" in my heart! In Leeds Shona, I am about to have a call tomorrow with a headteacher re NVC. In addition I will be working with the early years department from September 2 days a week and they want to look at using NVC across the service - probably piloting in a children's centre to begin with. So seeds sown and ready to nurture!
Much love
Penny

The email below may interest people on this group. Anyone ready to fly to USA for this???
I am forwarding it because I find reading such things, even if I know I wont attend, awakens my sense of possibilitiies and, who knows, maybe we will have something like this in the UK one day.
