““The work we are doing feels very powerful to me...I only wish I had learned NVC in graduate school.””

““Clarity Services delivers on their name — focusing on the needs we all share as human beings brings such welcome clarity to otherwise murky relationships and strained communications!”

““The Intent of this Nonviolent Communication training is: creating satisfying and empathetic personal connections; and teaching skills for meeting our needs in ways that honor the self and other while respecting our values, the values of others, and the connections we experience daily; and honoring conflict openly and with understanding. The lessons and practice opportunities grounded the concepts into practical use in a way that felt ideal for the subject at hand. Our instructor possessed a passion for NVC that flowed softly and emphasized that it is a way to live ones life when connection and emphatic care is important to you and your relationships. She also has strong skills in explaining concepts and ideas that help with understanding and absorbing the material. Overall a beautiful class, taught in a passionate way, that I recommend for anyone interested in NVC.”

““Peggy Smith and Alton Lane are one powerful combination! Peggy’s unique and easily understandable approach to Nonviolent Communication is inspiring, engaging, and actionable. Alton’s life experience shows us that hurt people will ultimately hurt other people unless empathy is discovered and learned. His life story and journey since meeting Peggy provides evidence that everyone has the potential to develop into an emotionally-healthy nonviolent person if given the opportunity and tools. Their presentations and workshops provide both!” ”

““...so much value, especially as an activist.””

““After the first workshop, my partner saw the positive impact the Integrated Program had on my communication skills. That alone is well worth the price.” ”

““The integration program has helped me gain a level of trust of others that I really didn’t have before which has allowed me to open up and be a far more authentic human being.” ”

““I knew I needed the discipline and practice the Integration Program provides because my behaviors that didn’t serve me well were so long-standing and rigid. I need strengthening in my abilities to stay present and accepting during a flow of dialogue. I have been profoundly impacted and nourished by my participation!” ”

““Participating in the Integration Program has given me a rich collection of practices to which I can return again and again as I continue to deepen my engagement with NVC. Perhaps even more importantly, it has fueled my commitment to opening my heart to the boundless possibilities of loving connection. Peggy and Leah are highly skilled, fun, and dynamic teachers/facilitators - both in-person and online - and they create a container where all participants can show up just as they are.” ”

““This Integration Program is definitely helping to solidify the work into my everyday life. I’m positive that I’m more peaceful, compassionate and loving as a result. I have so many new opportunities to laugh at myself and all those strategies that I’ve employed to get my needs met. I’m acutely aware of how inauthentic I’ve been as a means to protect what I thought was expected or required. I love how it so graciously allows a celebration of our humanity that is easily found in our universal feelings and needs.””

““You let me realize there’s more than one way to come up to a resolution and leave the table with no hard feelings towards one another.” ”
