Join Silver City MainStreet Project for Story Time and learn about how the tenacious Kyle Durrie, of Power and Light Press, became a Kick-Ass Entrepreneur! You won’t want to miss this highly requested story on November 8!

Power and Light Press is, “a ship-shape print shop built to handle all of life’s messy emotions. Ever since we flipped the switch on in 2009, our cards have been designed, printed, and packaged in-house, meaning each and every piece has come straight from our own blood, sweat, and tears. Metaphorically. For the most part. We are fueled by a small fleet of letterpress printers (ok just two of us) with clean hands and filthy mouths: a couple of real class acts who like making real-ass things. Because at Power and Light Press, we aren’t afraid to get a little dirty now and then.”

Nonviolent Communication Weekend Workshop Offered

: Category: Local News Releases Local News Releases; Published: 26 October 2023 26 October 2023

KarenStarz A training in nonviolent communication will be held the weekend of November 3 – 5 in Silver City, according to a news release issued by the Silver City Food Co-op and Lotus Center. The training will follow the principles set forth in the book Nonviolent Communication, A Language of Life by psychologist Marshall Rosenberg.

The timing of the workshop offering is ideal, says Karen Starz, a certified nonviolent communication trainer, and president of New Mexico Network for Nonviolent Communication.

“For many of us, our world feels more volatile than ever,” says Starz. “Political, social, and economic conditions and dialog seem intense and polarized like never before. Many of us wonder what we, individually, can do to bridge the gap of our wide-ranging views and to invite more civil exchanges. Now more than ever, our communities need nonviolent communication.”
