Reality NVC 2: Remarkable Women Living Truth

6 Thursday Lunchtime Sessions | 12:15-1:15pm
Feb 12, 26 | Mar 5, 12, 19, 26, 2026

The Concept

Explore how six visionary women integrated inner clarity with outer transformation through an NVC lens. Each session examines their actual words—edicts, writings, testimonies—to hear the needs and values that moved them beyond conventional power structures.

Core NVC Themes

• Power WITH vs. Power OVER
• Clarity of needs and values driving courage
• Self-connection as revolutionary act
• Empathy across difference
• Life-serving strategies that changed history
