NONVIOLENT COMMUNICATION:
This weekend works with the model of Nonviolent Communication (NVC) as developed over 35 years by Dr. Marshall Rosenberg www.cnvc.org. We will practice the two main practices of NVC 1. Moment by moment mindfulness and loving-kindness (called Empathic Presence in NVC 2. Learning to communicate with depth and honesty to others, using a needs based open dialogue skills in every situation.

For most of us, it's in those difficult moments in a personal conflict or in an argument when it's clear how our communication habits can keep us from the extraordinary relationships we really want. Millions of people struggle every day sharing what they feel or want in a way that can really be heard. We simply havent been taught the effective communication skills, emotional vocabulary, or self-awareness needed to get unstuck in those challenging moments, or to prevent those moments from happening in the first place. Imagine having the skills to transform those perpetual family conflicts into opportunities for connection with your spouse or children. What if you could enter a conversation with your partner confident that you would be heard, rather than reluctant to speak at all, or fearful that everything you say would be misconstrued? NVC offers us simple, effective communication and conflict resolution skills that will transform how you communicate helping you foster healthy, satisfying relationships at home, work, and in your community.
