Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: 1st question: NVC trainers who understand cohousing?

[S N Martin (snmartin]

Diana and all,

Several years ago Joe Cole (https://www.drjoecole.com/) led our community
in a very effective workshop that included extensive work and role playing
using NVC.

Joe was a founder of Pacifica Cohousing. He is a professor at UNC
Greensboro, along with providing facilitation and
consulting services, often with his partner.

I would highly recommend him!

Best,

Stan
