The purpose of these calls? Practicing the three modes of Nonviolent Communication in a compassionate community with silence (self-connection), sharing (self expression) and listening to each person (empathy).
During the hour there are no clarifying questions, vocal empathy guesses, reflections or mirroring. No cross-talk. No verbal empathy. Each person's line is muted when not speaking. Convener Mair Alight calls on each person in rotation, "handing them a mic". Each person is asked to time their own share for 2 minutes (or request that Mair time you). Needs attended to with this strategy: cooperation, support, empathy, connection, understanding...and probably a whole lot more! :-) There is no check-in. We start exactly on the hour with our first 4 minutes of silence. The silence is for the purpose of self-empathy. If you come to the call and hear music, it means we have not yet started the silence. If you come to the call and hear silence, it means we are in the self-empathy silence. Time for 4 minutes, and if you then continue to only hear silence, you may not actually be on the call. You could hang up and try calling in again. |
