Berkshires

 A year ago there were six active practice groups between Berkshire County, MA and Columbia Country, NY with over 60 people practicing NVC with each other. A few have completed their work, disbanded or re-formed, and a few are still going strong. Here are the current groups including several new ones that are just starting.  To streamline your connection to a new group, call our Practice Group Placement Wizard, Jim Fulton at 413-717-2138 or Karen Andrews, Berkshire NVC Coordinator, at 413-232-4027 or email Jim or Karen.
