The Ongo Group


  • GLENDALE UMC 900 Glendale Lane Nashville, TN, 37204 United States (map)

"Ongo was created in  2010 as our answer to this call to bring spiritual practice home."

These words written by authors and certified trainers through The Center For Nonviolent Communication, Catherine Cadden and Jesse Wiens, aptly describes the experience of The Ongo Practice Group. Through this work we inhabit a daily spiritual practice bringing us home to ourselves. You are invited to be a part of the third 12 week session that will run from August 30 through November 15.  

Ongo will be an inclusive group of 12 members. I ask there be a "best-you-can knowing life happens" commitment to participate in the full 12 week session to meet needs for connection, consistency, and community. Each weekly session supports consecutive sessions toward inhabiting the spiritual practice intended by Ongo. 

If you're interested in being a part of Ongo, please contact me through this website or carlene@carlenemaginnis.com. I hope you'll join us for the transformative experience Ongo offers in how we live the practice of Nonviolent Communication.
