“ Aya Caspi brought NVC (Non-Violent Communication) to our community through Saturday meetings for more than a year. Through these meetings many relationships with people I thought I knew have been transformed and deepened. With exquisite care and skill, Aya has demonstrated how simple it can be to clarify communication and connect much more deeply with empathy. Aya has demonstrated with consistent presence how even in the most charged circumstances it is possible to bring ease and resume communication on common ground by seeing the mutual needs behind the strategies we commonly use. I am now seeing how important communication with empathy is for relating with anyone, be they a stranger, co-worker, friend or family. With each person whose life is touched by Aya’s work, the community moves from concept to realization. I greatly appreciate Aya’s dauntless efforts in knitting our community together. ”
