Celebrating through appreciation and gratitude
We may think of Empathic Communication (EC) as something to be applied only in difficult or challenging situations — something we might use in a case of misunderstandings or conflicts. Yet, EC is also a powerful way to nurture ourselves and others by fully connecting with the joy of life and celebrating it through appreciation and gratitude.
We encourage you, Dear Reader, sharing your celebrations and gratitude about the power and beauty of EC!

Hare Krishna! Obeisances to all.
By the help of Sri Radhika Mataji directly and through this group, I was inspired to watch all videos of Gita Nagari retreat presentation on EC. I made presentation for college students as well. Thanks so much for meeting my needs to reach out to college students in USA to connect them with Srila Prabhupada’s teachings. 🙏 Thanks so much 🙏🙏🙏.

Hare Krishna!
Due to Empathic Communication, I realized that trying to fix others is in the mode of passion, but being present and listening to them empathically brings one to the mode of goodness and creates a mutually nourishing connection on the heart level. Thanks to His Holiness Bir Krishna Goswami's EC seminar in 2021 in Slovenia, I am interested in further studying and practicing Empathic Communication.

EC course was useful for me to understand deeper myself and others, get more ideas and practical tools on how to better deal with myself and others, and become a better servant of Krishna and devotees.
This was especially powerful in connection to the practical experience of preaching and management I had during my service as a TP and TC. Also, concerning deeper studies of SP books I undergo during the bhakti-vaibhava course, many interactions with different devotees, and very structurised studies in Srila Bhakti Vijnana Goswami's japa-meditation school. Altogether, it helped me a lot to understand better and get practical realizations of topics we discussed in EC.
Most important for me were topics about feelings end emotions. Mainly that they always point out some needs behind them and have their unique space and value in people's lives. And also about different cultures, how to deal with people, and the result of that.
I liked we took it step-by-step, so a whole new world opened and became relevant to me. Thanks very much to all the participating devotees, especially to Mataji Madhuri Radhika, who organized and led our sessions. I would like to go on practicing it in association with like-minded devotees.

I'm really grateful for the opportunity to understand better myself and others and experience empathic connection, feeling some semblance of compassion.
This is certainly a whole new language, a paradigm that I struggle with internally, being used to hearing my inner voice denigrating myself and others for years. Now, I'm able to listen to the needs behind this voice and ponder over strategies that will be beneficial for the inner and outer worlds.
I am grateful to Madhuri Radhika Mataji for her support and guidance throughout this group study. You have wonderfully demonstrated how I can apply the teachings of NVC (EC) in our everyday lives with down-to-earth examples and personal experiences. Association rubs off, so practicing it yourself and allowing others to have your association helped me also desire to try to adopt this language of life.
I hope that I can be somehow useful in sharing this language with others. To know I can contribute to people's lives and ultimately facilitate the establishment of their connection with Krishna and all His parts and parcels gives me great joy.
