An interactive, daylong communication workshop based on the work of Marshall Rosenberg.
Would you like to increase your ability to empathize in the moment with yourself and others?
Do you seem to have an intellectual understanding of NVC — maybe you have read the book or watched some videos — yet you still struggle to access compassion in the daily conflicts of life?
Please consider joining us for this day in which we will focus on transforming any judgmental thought by translating it into feelings and needs.
In group exercises and structured role plays you will be answering these two crucial questions:
When I am judging something as wrong what emotion am I feeling and what values of mine are at stake?
And that person who is doing/saying that thing I hate/fear, what need are they trying to meet, just like me?
Experiencing these two transformative questions is the basis for an empathic relationship to oneself and others. It is also crucial in any productive dialogue or negotiation: we need to understand ourselves and hear others.
This workshop is designed for anyone new to NVC, as well as for anyone with NVC experience that wishes to practice and deepen empathy skills. It is all about having access to empathy for ourselves and others in the moments when we need it most!
Facilitated by CNVC certi1ied trainer Gail Carroll and Paul Merrill Gail and Paul were both teachers of NVC when they met as continuing students in a year long NVC mediation program in 2010. Sharing a common language of NVC was crucial to remaining connected throughout the inevitable conIlicts of intimacy. In 2011, they began to focus their NVC teaching on skills and practices they were using in their own relationship conflicts.
