Cultivating the Strength to Love: 2 day training in Nonviolent Communication
Transforming conflict in relationships and groupsBook here
Conflict is feedback that hasn’t happened.
How many times have you noticed an unease inside of you about something that is happening that you don’t want to be part of, or something that someone is doing that you don’t like, or something that you are being expected to do? This is happening all the time on a micro level in interpersonal relationships, at work and on a bigger scale in our shared reality of living in this city together, in this country, on this planet. Things are happening that we don’t like, and we very often don’t even acknowledge this to ourselves, let alone speak up about what is happening, let alone find support to collectively transform the situation.One of the skills needed is the capacity to give and receive feedback.
The parts of this skill include having compassionate understanding of:- what stops us speaking our truth or giving feedback to people
- what happens to us when we anticipate or receive feedback that is hard to hear.
- What happens to us and what alternate strategies can we utilise when our attempts to give feedback aren’t received.
- How to strengthen our sense that our experience (whatever it is) matters and that our experience and response is valid and vital.
- power differentials (there is rarely a ‘level playing field’ when it come to giving and receiving feedback. For example, a child speaking their truth to a parent or adult is unlikely to be heard)
- what support is necessary to deal with power differentials.
