Welcome to Talk it Out Radio, your local, live, community call-in, Nonviolent Communication (NVC), Mindfulness, and Social Justice Radio Show here on KPFA, 94.1 FM .

We are dedicated to sharing practices and skills for effective and meaningful communication which includes deep listening, compassion, and collaboration. We are passionate about supporting dialogues across sensitive and important topics without doing harm to one another in the process. We integrate NVC with anti-racist and anti-oppression practices.

Our intention is to share tools, knowledge, and resources that empower all of us to effectively connect across differences and create understanding, so that we can all work together to create a more just experience for our own lives, our communities, and for the planet.
