Ep 32 Conscious Communication through Love ~ Polly Greeks

Polly Greeks is a practitioner of Non-Violent Communication who aims to create a lifestyle that is harmonious with the earth. After numerous offshore adventures, Polly Greeks, her husband James and their children Vita and Zendo chose to put down roots in an isolated forest in New Zealand where they are slowly building a mortgage-free, off-grid home and discovering an entirely new way of life. Non-Violent Communication (NVC), or conscious communication as Polly prefers to call it, has played an integral role in their journey. In today’s episode we talk about  the principles of conscious communication and explore how it can support us to live more connected lives in harmony with ourselves, others and the Earth. This discussion will invite you to be curious about how to better connect with yourself, others and the land.
