Learning Nonviolent Communication can:
- help you have the real conversations you need to have in your life
- help you act sooner to end frustration.
- help you step into an empowered and empowering connection with yourself, others and the world around you.
- help you change your relationship to fear, pain, loss, suffering
Nonviolent Communication was developed by Marshall Rosenberg who drew on the humanistic psychology of Carl Rogers and the nonviolence of Gandhi and Martin Luther King, and give you the tools to approach life in a way that includes your own needs, while considering others' and the needs of the wider environment. It is a process and a support for complicated times.
I am currently a Certification Candidate with the Centre for Nonviolent Communication. I am really looking forward to the task of ensuring a solid foundation in the Key Components, the Assumptions and Principles underpinning NVC, and also providing a large degree of practice.
I have decided to offer this Foundation over 4 weekly sessions because a member of my practice group suggested it and I thought it was a good way of fostering community and getting into the flow of ongoing practice.
Thursday 3rd November 6 - 9.30pm
Thursday 10th November 6 - 9.30pm
Thursday 17th November 6 - 9.30pm
Thursday 24th November 6 - 9.30pm
The course will take place in Camberwell, South London, SE5 9JS. Nearest tube Oval (Northern line)
Cost: I am delighted to offer this training in a way that means (I hope) that anyone who wants to do it, can do so and that finances aren't the reason for people choosing or not to do it. I would suggest a sliding scale of £20 - £150 for the 4 sessions (12 hours of training) and I would also suggest that we sort out payment at the end of the course, when you can decide what you are willing to pay.
I request that you communicate to me in an email or however we communicate that you will do your best to attend all four sessions, and that it is your clear intention that you are ready to do a foundation training in Nonviolent Communication at this time. Please either read
Marshall Rosenberg's book A language of Life or watch some of his youtube videos of which
this is one example before the course begins.
Next course begins in January 2017, if you can’t make this one.
