In person Foundation Weekend in Oxford – A Way into NVC

Explore a practical process for communicating effectively and compassionately in challenging situations in your home, work and community.

Each weekend:

• Presents the foundational concepts and tools of NVC

• Provides the information and practice needed to start using the tools in daily life

• Uses an experiential style with real life examples

• Is challenging, moving, supportive and fun

• Uses a systemic lens to locate NVC’s purpose of radical social change

Like learning a foreign language, full fluency comes gradually, as understanding and practice integrate.

Learn to:

• Build relationships based on compassion and understanding
• Be assertive and resolve conflicts with confidence
• Offer honest feedback without insulting others
• Hear others with empathy, even when they speak in critical ways
• Increase choice and self-care
• Understand systemic impacts and break patterns of thinking that lead to anger, depression or guilt
