Learn a deceptively simple and boldly creative approach to sustaining connection and addressing conflict in a time petitioning for robust examples of human courage, honesty and radical empathy. NVC is a language rooted in heart and conscience and ultimately a faithful map for any relationship struggling to find a reliable horizon in stormy seas. For lovers, leaders and cynics alike.
We don’t need experts to tell us that communication matters. Our relationships are evidence enough. We are ‘relational’ creatures and our ability to thrive and attend to life’s challenges depends significantly on our ability to cultivate and nurture healthy connections. But what if the ways in which we’ve been educated to relate only increase the divide between ourselves and others? And what if the areas we focus on when attempting to resolve conflict actually throw us off the scent of what’s really at stake and needs attention?
This transformative program teaches you to:
identify and break through limiting patterns of thought and speech.
build a reliable and time tested language reservoir that enhances connection.
become more discerningly responsive and less impulsively reactive.
tune into the unspoken needs underlying what people say.
cultivate greater compassion for self and others.
Learning is supported through:
engaging presenter led instruction and discussion.
individual, dyad and group exercises (both written and oral).
supportive audio/video clips.
time to integrate and reflect.
Change your experience of conflict and relating with this dynamic and life honouring approach grounded in both spiritual and emotional intelligence as well as ecological wisdom.
