	Marcela BuenoMarcela is an open-minded, curious soul constantly looking for ways to express, connect with others, and make sense (or accept the nonsense) of this adventure called life. Marcela is originally from Colombia and has lived in the US for eight years now. She heard about NVC first in 2023, and has since accepted its invitation to love fiercely, to be unapologetically authentic, and to embrace a new vision of the world–a whole real one in which hope is possible for everyone. During her wildest fantasies yet, Marcela inspires others to explore their full potential, while living a full (not perfect, not easy) life. Contact this Facilitator
