Come gather online with fellow spiritual directors of diverse political leanings to tend to our overwhelm, worry, anger, fear, excitement, and other feelings about the U.S. election, with guidance and structure from a spiritual director who is also a Nonviolent Communication (NVC) trainer.
 
We will use principles of NVC, including the idea that our most judgmental and fearful thoughts point directly to what matters most. Then we will apply the principle that this understanding, in turn, opens a doorway to empathy and self-compassion. 
 
Brief guided meditation, group participation exercises, and themed break-out rooms will deepen connection, allowing us to move through our difficult emotions into mutual support and compassion. By holding the second session after the election, an opportunity to share insights about strengthening trust and opening perspective, will allow us to meet our days in faith and with great love.
