A Season of Celebration

Detachment from Outcome:
The Meeting Place of Spirituality and Nonviolent Communication
With Jamil Popatia, CNVC Certified Trainer

Registration is Free!

Donations are Welcomed!

About this workshop:

Nearly all the world's great wisdom traditions call their followers to detach from outcome; Let go. Let God! There is a similar invitation in the beautiful process of Nonviolent Communication where we are invited to be open to wonder and amazement at what can ensue when we focus on the needs and release our attachment to both strategy and outcome.

About Jamil Popatia:

http://www.dignifieddialogue.ca/

Jamil struggled to find his purpose, identity and a sense of belonging while growing up in Western Canada with immigrant parents. Jamil now considers these struggles as opportunities to build resilience in an unpeaceful environment. It wasn’t until his 30s that he discovered what dignity, purpose and meaning would be for him. His response to his environment was to explore ways of nonviolently addressing interpersonal conflict. As a counselor, mediator and trainer his passion is balancing empathy with authenticity in all interactions. Jamil considers this use of nonviolent communication to be dignified dialogue in that it is true to compassion and connection. Jamil is particularly interested in the intersection of faith, spirituality and NVC as seen through the lenses of the religions of the world.
