Introductions

Nonviolent Communication (AKA Compassionate Communication) offers simple yet powerful tools to move from confusion and conflict to clarity and co-operation.  These tool have a 40-year track record of increasing peace in personal, professional, organizational and governmental relationships.

This interactive, introductory seminar will offer you a brief history of Nonviolent Communication, an overview of NVC philosophy, beginning-level practice and inspirational stories of how the tools improve daily life.  You will leave the session with concepts you can put to immediate use.

While the Radiant Relationships Seminar Series rests fully within the consciousness of NVC, I also incorporate tools from additional modalities, including The Work of Byron Katie, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), The Secret, Voice Dialogue and Core Transformation.

Explore and deepen your facility with the gentle, compassionate
and connecting heart of Nonviolent Communication (NVC). You will find your NVC
skills and consciousness leap ahead naturally and comfortably from a week-long
immersion in the caring community of the NY Intensive Residential Training in
NVC. Because a new team of trainers is formed each year, many participants
return year after year.

• Learn to express yourself in ways that you will be more fully
  heard.

• Heal the pain of conflict and lack of deep connection with
  loved ones.

• Increase joy in communication with co-workers, community
  members and friends.

• Discover inner peace, cooperation, and caring in your
  relationships.

• Dissolve enemy images while working for a more just and
  compassionate world.

• Uncover the human motives behind painful choices and discover
  effective action to meet pressing needs

People rave about the warmth, growth and learning in previous
NY Intensives (see
testimonials). We are confident that you will gain similarly from the 5th NY
IRT. We have invited certified trainers from the CNVC network to form a team
with a broad range of learning styles and areas of specialization. Collectively,
they bring over 50 years of training experience.

Prerequisites: The NY IRT is
designed to accommodate the needs of persons at beginning, intermediate and
advanced levels in NVC (see below for description of format). Though there are
no prerequisites, beginners will find their experience is enriched by reading
Nonviolent Communication by Marshall B. Rosenberg in advance of
attending and by participating in the Fundamentals track for the first three
days of training. Intermediate and advanced training sessions are offered at
every session starting with the first day.

Format: For beginners and persons
wanting thorough coverage of the foundational NVC skills, a Special Track in NVC
Fundamentals is offered at each session during the first three days. We
recommend that those participants who have not had at least two days of training
with a certified trainer take advantage of the Special Track programming. A
variety of offerings of more advanced programming will also be available
starting with the first day for those who begin the intensive with a thorough
understanding of the fundamentals.
