Would you like to make peace with your own desires? Would you like to better understand your heart's longings and bring them more fully into manifestation? Nonviolent Communication (NVC) offers some simple and easy-to-learn ways of befriending ourselves. From this place, what we say to others will come across different, making connection and collaboration more likely. We'll explore both the inner and the outer connections that this work makes possible.

All our longings come from a divine source of life within us, that inspires everything we do. Learning to identify and embrace these longings is a step to feeling more at peace with our deeper selves, and with our purpose in the world. Understanding ourselves in this new way, we can develop new compassion and understanding for others. We can find the words to reach them, and to create friendships and partnerships based on mutuality, respect and care.

This workshop will be based at the Findhorn Foundation, a world renowned intentional spiritual community founded in 1962 and now at the forefront of developements in personal growth, spiritual practice, ecology and sustainability. See www.findhorn.org for more info.

Embracing Longing - The Spirituality of Nonviolent Communication

Nonviolent Communication (NVC) offers some simple and profound tools for deeper self awareness and self compassion. Behind every action we take, and everything we say, are universal longings we are seeking to fulfill. Knowing these longings, embracing their presence at the root of all we do, can radically change how we experience ourselves and others. Out of this clarity, decisive action can emerge, as well as new ways of expressing ourselves to others that are more likely to create outcomes that everyone will enjoy.

We will explore simple practices for better self connection, as well as developing skills in listening to one another fully. We will stretch our ability to stay congruent with our values while with others, and find skillful ways of expressing our honesty.

There will be a mix of learning styles on this workshop: solo written work, work in pairs and threes, as well as unstructured group process. With all of these contexts we will give ourselves the opportunity to experience a world beyond "right" and "wrong" where we are more connected to one another, and to our essense.

Leo Sofer has been learning and teaching NVC since 1999.

This workshop will be an introduction to Nonviolent Communication (NVC) a simple yet powerful "language of compassion" developed by Marshall B. Rosenberg Ph.D and currently practiced in over 65 countries worldwide.

• NVC supports you to:
• Express yourself fully without triggering hostility or withdrawal
• Hear others compassionately
• Transform potential conflicts into peaceful dialogues
• Make clear requests instead of vague demands
• Give clear and supportive feedback
• Develop self-awareness and self-compassion
• Turn your "inner critic" into a source of positive support

Through its emphasis on deep listening - to ourselves and to others - NVC fosters respect, attentiveness and empathy, and engenders a mutual desire to give from the heart. As we learn NVC we take more responsibility for our experience and exercise more fully the power we have to create the kind of world we wish to live in.

Leo Sofer has been learning and teaching NVC since 1999. He lives in Findhorn, is married and has two small children.
