MOFGA communications
The Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association is hosting a workshop on nonviolent communication from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday at Mayo Street Arts, 10 Mayo St.

Participants also will learn to release judgments of themselves and others and to speak more authentically from the heart.
Organizers are asking for a donation to participate. Proceeds will support MOFGA’s El Salvador Sistering Project. To register, go to www.opencommunication.org.
