"Had yet another remarkable experience last night working through our conflict from last week. I am so excited, encouraged, grateful, satisfied, moved, and proud as it really meets my need for cooperation, learning, honesty, challenge, clarity, growth...I could go on and on! I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to do this work with Third Ear Project - thank you."

"I recently had the pleasure of participating in one of your 6-week NVC (Nonviolent Communications) classes at the Quilcene School and I want to tell you what an impact it had on me."
"First, I want to say what an excellent facilitator you are. You led us into discussions and walked us through every step so easily, that it appeared effortless on your part. You listened to our every word and challenged us in very positive ways to be better communicators. I want to thank you."
"When learning the ‘steps’ of NVC it becomes apparent that people of all ages and intelligence could learn these extremely powerful communication tools. What a revolution we could have in our world if these simple tools could especially be given to young children who, unlike adults, have not yet spent years & years of developing poor communication skills. I believe these skills are as important as math, reading, etc.."

"...It works!!...yesterday I was able to offer something probably close to empathy to a friend...it happened successively over our 90 minute conversation and it was as if I had a magic translator fish in my ear...I was, in no uncertain terms, completely blown away. Needless to say, it also made a lasting impression on my friend...thanks for all you've opened my eyes and my heart to."

"NVC has offered me my most useful tool which I can always pull out of my back pocket when I need it. I have used NVC in my relationship, in my family, in business situations, at church, and in my intentional community. It may seem formulaic to some, but it has helped me remember that I am responsible for my own feelings and that empathy can be a very powerful gift to both others and myself."

"I signed up for a class with Third Ear Project to develop my skills in listening to others, hearing the message behind the words. What surprised me was how much the process enhanced my ability to hear what is going on in me and to give myself empathy which, in turn, has helped me to connect with others at a deeper level and to communicate more effectively. The shift in consciousness is huge and sometimes seems impossible to me, but Alex Bryan and his colleagues create a safe space and offer excellent role modeling and facilitation. Plus, the groups I have been involved with have been enlivening and fun!"
Christine Pederson
"Over the past three years NVC has helped me significantly to reach out to others and make empathetic connections that would have otherwise been out of my reach. I feel enormous gratitude to Marshall Rosenberg for his creation of this process and to Alex Bryan for his local facilitation of the process because this has significantly enriched the quality of my life."
