2 day Foundation Training

Nonviolent Communication is an easily learned yet profound process for communicating with empathy, honesty, power and integrity. This two day workshop will be experiential, thought provoking, supportive and fun. Most of us are hungry for skills that can improve the quality of our relationships, to deepen our sense of personal empowerment, or simply help us to communicate more effectively. Unfortunately most of us have been educated from birth to compete, judge, criticise, demand and diagnose, to think in terms of what is 'right' or 'wrong', 'good' or 'bad' with people. NVC helps us to reach beneath the surface of these judgements and discover what is alive and vital within us, and how all our actions are based on universal human needs that we are seeking to meet. This foundation workshop will help to: Identify the rich world of your feelings and find out what you are needing in any moment Discover and respond empathically to what others might be feeling and needing Make choices with awareness rather than reacting to situations Express frustrations without blame or judgement Hear difficult responses without reactions of hurt or blame This profound process offers insight into why we human beings sometimes struggle to understand and accept one another, and offers the skills to use that insight to grow compassion for ourselves and others, and the values we choose to live by. It has the capacity to deeply enrich life and relationships. For more information email Vicky: v.peirce@gmail.com
