In person – Introduction to Nonviolent Communication

BOOKING DETAILS BELOW

Teaching this language of connection I’ll be introducing you to some core principals that make connection easier. We’ll be using various ways of learning to ensure everyone has a chance to feel fully involved; I enjoy making the course lively and inclusive.

The method is based on understanding feelings and needs, learning to listen without judgement and distinguishing between empathy and all the other responses we might use automaticaly (sympathy, argument, switching the focus to ourselves, advice, etc.) It’s about discovering how our needs guide us in everything we say or do and how understanding our needs make a perfect base for connection.

We’ll explore expessing ourselves in a way that helps us be fully heard. Also hearing others with understanding, whilst still feeling safe.

We’ll discover how using this language can help in times of stress and conflict and how it’s possible to find ways of meeting all party’s needs without compromising or depriving anyone of respect. It is an effective way to empower ourselves.

I’ve been teaching and facilitating NVC for more than 10 years and feel passionate about this very gentle and respectful way of communicating. I don’t need to make a living out of it so I can really enjoy giving what I have to give and seeing people’s lives transform as a result.

Please email me to express an interest or to book. Booking is essential and please only book if you’re able to come for both days.
