DESCRIPTION:Miki Kashtan, founder of Bay Area Nonviolent Communication, has been 
 actively coaching the Peace Alliance in their U.S. Department of Peace 
 campaign, facilitating regular telephone conferences to assist Peace 
 Alliance workers in effective open-hearted communication with government 
 officials.   To read more about Miki's work with the Peace Alliance click 
 here.\n\nMiki Kashtan has also been supporting global social change 
 movements, including facilitation of the African Alliance for Peace summit 
 in Ghana and a global peacebuilding and conflict transformation summit in 
 Japan.\n\nNow Miki is facilitating monthly Saturday workshops and Tuesday 
 evening telephone conferences that are open to the general public.  Each 
 monthly workshop and telecourse will be on a different topic: you are 
 invited to participate in one or more of them. \n\nNonviolent Communication 
 has been described as a language of compassion. Its basic premise is that 
 underlying all human actions are needs that people are seeking to meet, and 
 that understanding and acknowledging these needs can create a shared basis 
 for connection, cooperation, and more globally -- peace.\n\n"Miki's 
 leadership inspires, startles, thrills and challenges my growing edge. It 
 meets my needs for hope, fresh possibilities, and change in the smallest 
 part of my heart and in the world at large." --Melody Stewart, Santa Rosa, 
 CA\n\nContinuing Education Units (CEUs) are available for licensed social 
 workers, marriage & family therapists and registered nurses.\n\nA break for 
 lunch will be provided during each monthly Saturday workshop. A Whole Foods 
 Market and Deli is across the street from the workshop location at 2501 
 Harrison Street, near Lake Merritt in Oakland.  The workshop location is 
 wheelchair accessible, is convenient to public transit and offers free
