Day

This Practice Group begins with a "remembering" for inspiration, centering and connecting with ourselves. This is followed by a "check-in" when we share how we are, what we bring with us or what we hope to receive during the session. Activities include: short education exercises, empathy, role-plays, games and discussions. Participants can facilitate the group with prior arrangement with Rodger Sorrow

This 2 full day Nonviolent Communication (NVC) workshop is rich with experiential learning provided through a combination of interactive instruction, dialogue modeling, stimulating group and individual exercises. In this workshop we explore the following questions: What is it that you care deeply about? How can you effectively anchor what you say to what you deeply value? What gets in the way of real connection with others? What relationship patterns would you like to shift? How can genuine honesty and compassion be accessed and woven into our relationships, especially with those we experience as more challenging?

This program is for people who have been studying NVC for two to five years and hold an intention to be a certified trainer with CNVC or NYCNVC.

The NVC Integration Program provides an experience that supports the practice and consciousness of NVC on a deeper level.

This course is designed for people who have been studying NVC for long enough to understand the key concepts and want accelerated integration, who want deeper learning and integration for their personal growth and practice. Most participants have been studying for at least 6 months and have read the book Nonviolent Communication, A Language for Life, by Marshall Rosenberg.

Through an intensive combination of Practice Groups, Empathy Sessions, Coaching Sessions, Workshops and Residential Retreats and Intensives, participants experience a journey to learning and real-life application.

A two-day Foundation Training will introduce you to the principles on which Nonviolent Communication is based, and provide you with practice in using the four steps (observations, feelings, needs and requests) to connect with your own inner dialogues, to express yourself, or to receive other people with compassion. It will give you sufficient grounding in the process to start using it in your life.

My workshops are generally run with 4-6 people. Past participants have told me that this enables them to speak freely about matters that are important to them, and contributes to their feelings of safety. It also enables me to give individual attention to each person and allows the workshop to evolve in a way that meets everyone’s needs.

Basic skills to transform blame, criticism and conflict into empathic connection with others and with yourself. From 10am to 12 noon.
