Description
NVC can support us in cultivating a quality of connection out of which solutions can arise to meet everyone’s needs. You can work with and bring clarity to, real-life situations that have not been easy or enjoyable for you.
Learn & practice how to:
- Express oneself clearly and powerfully without using blame or judgment
- Understand feelings and why they arise
- Listen to oneself and others empathically
- Learn to how to 'not take things personally'
- Create connection
- Cultivate compassion for yourself and others
- Gain more freedom by becoming aware of judgments and what lies beneath them be more empowered by being aware of, and taking responsibility for, your feelings and longings and finding ways to meet them
Through a combination of didactic teaching segments, interactive exercises, group sharing/harvesting and other activities you will:
- Learn to distinguish between assumptions, evaluations and observations, thoughts and feelings, strategies and needs, values, demands and requests
- Gain awareness of the ways people sometimes speak that stimulate pain and disconnection
- Learn to ask for that which you want in ways the other can more easily hear
- Learn ways to choose your responses vs. reacting habitually
“NVC transforms potential conflicts into peaceful dialogues. Learn simple tools to defuse arguments and create compassionate connections with your family, friends and others.” - John Gray, Ph.D., author, Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus
Speak Peace in a World of Conflict is a book that comes at an appropriate time when anger and violence dominates human attitudes. Marshall Rosenberg gives us the means to create peace through our speech and communication. A brilliant book.” - ARUN GANDHI, president, M. K. Gandhi Institute for Nonviolence, USA
