Deepening the Foundation: The Alchemy of Empathy

For bookings or enquiries send a mail to lizkingsnorth@gmail.com Of all the elements of NVC, developing and expressing Empathy is probably the one that holds the greatest potential for transforming relationships. Yet it’s not easy, especially when we are under pressure! In this experiential workshop, we will explore the central role of empathy in NVC consciousness and processes …in fact how it underpins all aspects of NVC. Fill in gaps, refresh your existing knowledge, deepen your understanding of NVC, and learn new skills. Using your own life experiences, we will practice: • developing pause and self-awareness to gain insight into what’s going on • holding onto your intention for connection and authenticity • clarifying and articulating feelings and needs, instead of rushing into strategy • converting anger, guilt, judgment and blame into the life-affirming needs that connect us to our deeper selves and to others • resolving conflicts creatively, cleanly and compassionately. We will develop fluency plus greater empathy, acceptance and understanding of ourselves and other people. This workshop is suitable for anyone who has completed at least a 2-day Foundation training. You may also have been attending a Practice group or participated in further NVC workshops, but they are not requirements for benefiting from this day.
