From Inner Work to Outer Impact: A Journey of Transformation with Aniruddha

Legendary Aniruddha Gadankush

Streamed Live on Zoom from Pune, India

+ Optional In-Person Gathering in Columbia, MD

🎥 Recording included with any donation based registration

If you’ve ever heard me speak about Nonviolent Communication (NVC), you’ve probably heard the story that changed my life: a cassette titled “NVC and Buddhism.” In it, Aniruddha shares a time when he was held up in the UK—and how he responded not with fear or anger, but with radical compassion. His calm, heartfelt response completely disarmed the assailant, and he walked away physically unharmed and spiritually stronger. I remember thinking, “I want what he has.”

🌍 This seminar is a fundraiser—and 100% of all proceeds will support Aniruddha’s vital work in Pune, India.

Aniruddha works closely with the Dalit (formerly “Untouchable”) communities of India —those who have for generations lived on the margins of Indian society, denied their basic dignity, voice, and access to resources. His mission is clear and powerful: “To give voice to the voiceless.”

Through Nonviolent Communication, he offers not just workshops—but a way back to self-respect, inner strength, and community healing. Nearly all his trainings are offered free of charge to these communities, many of whom live day-to-day on the edge of survival.

Your presence and support by registering for this seminar will not only enrich your own journey—it will directly uplift those who have been silenced for far too long.

We are grateful beyond words that Aniruddha has agreed to share his heart, wisdom, and lived experiences with us.

🧡 Come learn. Come heal. Come be part of a global ripple of change.

More Information

This event occurs monthly on a Sunday to support Nonviolent communication (NVC) understanding and practice.

We welcome new participants at any level. It’s fun when a ‘newbie’ comes and we, ‘newbies’ not so long ago, suddenly see that we’ve learned something important we can pass on, at the same time deepening our understanding of new concepts. If you're already skilled in NVC, we would enjoy sharing support and companionship.

$$ info: The requested fee is $20-$50 per person. Please don't let the cost keep you from coming. Sustainability is important to us but contribution even more so, which we can't do unless you show up! For more information call Barbra at 410 499 1986 or email (deleting spaces): Qi of NVC @gmail.com
