Join us for this in-person presentation by award-winning public radio documentary-maker David Freudberg. Hundreds of his programs have been heard nationwide on NPR. His Humankind series asks: How do we hold on to our humanity in times of change and challenge? Last summer, the Humankind Collection of audio journalism was acquired by the Library of Congress. David is now presenting some of his favorite programs to public library audiences and elsewhere. People join us for this group listening session, followed by a discussion of the content.

This session is about Non-Violent Communication:
Rarely are we taught the art of deep listening. Or how to respond to someone we don’t agree with — without accusation or blame or putting them on the defensive. These are some skills learned in a system known as Nonviolent Communication, a simple way to defuse conflict and foster greater compassion. It’s especially relevant in our polarized world. Finding ways to do that has long been a quest of author Marshall Rosenberg and educator Betty Burkes, both heard in-depth in this program.

Registration will begin on Oct. 1. Registration is required.
