Build the Foundations of an NVC practice in three day’s this month!

This is a unique opportunity to learn the foundations of Nonviolent Communication, speaking your truth honestly and with compassion and listening empathically to what's in the heart of any message in one weekend..

There will be plenty of opportunity to practice,
using meaningful examples from your own life,
including family life, work life, partnership,
and social change.

Friday, April 28 – Sunday, April 30, 2006

This would be an excellent place to start or strengthen an NVC practice.

On Friday night we will spend time on an introduction to Nonviolent Communications to get everyone going.

This will be a good time to ask any questions that may have come up from reading the book.

On Saturday morning we will use NVC to see within ourselves the beauty of who we are by practicing the art of self empathy.

This process will include comprehension, demonstration and practice with the support of small groups.

On Saturday afternoon we will use NVC to deepen our intimate relations with family. Utilizing material developed for my Language for Lovers workshops we will come to see the beauty of the fun - and the beauty of the not so fun - aspects of relationship.

On Sunday morning we will turn our attention to the larger community and examine the power of NVC to assist Social Change. How can we build the world we want to live in where everyone's needs and values can be celebrated?  But first how can we deal with our despair for the way things are right now?

Then we will finish the day using NVC for healing emotional wounds and freeing blocks.

We are offering this three day format to
provide a solid foundation
for a lifelong practice
of Nonviolent Communication;
however this is just the beginning.
