DESCRIPTION:The Art of Powerful Non-Defensive Communication\, Taking the 
 War Out of Our Words\nOn Saturday\, November 10\, 2012\, Sharon Strand E
 llison (http://www.pndc.com) will conduct a one-day workshop in the Mid-
 Atlantic for all persons interested in practical ways to communicate Pea
 ce. The workshop&rsquo\;s focus will demonstrate communicative disarmame
 nt: moving from the common communication model that is built on defensiv
 eness and power struggle to a new paradigm that has a completely non-def
 ensive base. Ellison&rsquo\;s approach introduces a uniquely powerful bl
 end of vulnerability and honesty based on curiosity and authenticity.\n&
 ldquo\;I worked with and taught conflict resolution and mediation for mu
 ch of my career as a School Psychologist. Sharon Ellison presents things
  in a way that is both easy to use and effective. I am going to this con
 ference on Saturday even though I've read the book and listened to the b
 ook on CD. The more practice I get the more this will help me become par
 t of the peaceful person I want to be.&rdquo\;&nbsp\; &nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbs
