Location: Seattle

   5646 42nd Ave SW,  West Seattle

Date and Time:

   Mon, Oct 17, 2011

7:00 PM - 12:00 PM

Details

   We'll discuss Rosenberg's Nonviolent Communication process, especially connecting, not correcting, in our communication. Since every action is intended to meet a need, discovering our own and others' needs makes empathy much easier. Thus, we can transform judgments and labels into understanding.
     We'll practice empathetically receiving what people are saying and requesting.  That includes empathy with ourselves and others who are angry, hurt, scared, etc.

Points

  
  • -Turning criticism, labeling of others into compassionate understanding
  • -Learning empathy with ourselves and others who are angry, hurt, scared, etc.
  • -Practicing empathy with "No"
  • -Responding empathetically when we haven't met the needs of others
  • -Expressing needs that are not easy to express
