Many of us come to NVC looking for a way to survive, improve, enjoy our relationships. I know I did. Then I discovered that the most important relationship is the one with myself.  This is because when we relate empathically to ourselves we are empowered to calm our reactivity and take responsibility for meeting our needs. When we understand and acknowledge our needs we naturally have more inner resource to face challenging conversations and relationships ‘out there’.

This day will draw on Sarah Peyton’s research into NVC and neuroscience.

You’ll be supported to take away skills to:

• precisely name your feelings and needs in relation to a stimulus

• identify self-sabotaging behaviours and core beliefs

• get familiar with different parts of your inner life, such as the critic, the self, the witness

• find your unique empathic voice that’s able to regulate your nervous system

Be warned! Relating to yourself with compassion could lead to a lack of inclination to judge yourself and others and an inability to worry. You may find yourself acting spontaneously rather than from fear-based habits and even enjoying each moment as it comes!

There’ll be an invitation to explore this theme somatically through up to 60 minutes of movement and dance. Yep dancing online: it works surprisingly well and, if you’re new to ‘conscious movement’, there is the benefit of being able to try it out in the safety and comfort of your own home.  If you’ve never tried ‘conscious’ dance before you are especially welcome. No experience is necessary – you cannot do it wrong! And all ages, body shapes and fitness levels are welcome. Any doubts or queries, email or call me for a chat.

Who is this training for?

This event is for those who want to deepen their understanding and experience of NVC in theory and practice.   A pre-requisite is that you will have completed a two-day foundation training in NVC, or equivalent and want to integrate and embody NVC more fully in your life. This will ensure a common foundation for intermediate level engagement and practice.
