This workshop is based on Nonviolent Communication (NVC): a practical, learnable process for communicating with empathy, honesty, power and compassion. It integrates personal development with social change. The purpose of NVC is to ensure everyone's needs are valued equally and fulfilled in ways that contribute to connection, harmony and peace. It develops people's ability to listen to and transform blame, anger and criticism into respectful, constructive communication, and to resolve conflicts peacefully.
Through interactive dialog, games and role-playing, participants will learn to hear the common human needs behind any word or action, no matter how painfully they might be expressed. We’ll explore the thinking behind enemy images that escalates violence and prevents us from mutual understanding. Tools to transform enemy images into profound human connection that can resolve differences and lead to creative collaboration will be offered. We’ll practice difficult conversations using empathy, honesty and clear requests that search for solutions to meet everyone’s needs. |
