June and July, Sunday afternoons - Caravan Women Study Group
Convenor: Brenda PaddonThe Caravan Women are planning a study group around the book Taking the War out of Our Words: The Art of Powerful Non-Defensive Communication by Sharon Ellison. It is about powerful, non-defensive communication. It's about transforming the way we listen and use words in order to become more compassionate, more sincere and more empowering in our relationships. It applies to our intimate relationships all the way to misunderstandings with hardware store clerks.
Brenda states: "When I was loaned this book by a friend at Mission Peak a couple of years ago, I was skeptical but open-minded. I didn't think that I communicated in a particularly defensive manner but I skimmed the book and started reading. A new and much more peaceful world was revealed to me!
"Through Ellison's techniques I believe I have learned to be a much more empathetic and effective teacher, parent and friend and probably a much better ex-wife, too!"
The study group will meet during June and July - probably on Sunday afternoons. Please notify Brenda Paddon of your interest, so she knows how many books to order. The price is $12 for Caravan Women, regularly $17.
