WHAT ARE CORE BELIEFS:

They are foundational ideas which shape our experience and thus the quality of our lives. They generally contribute to, or even lock us into ongoing pain, and can manifest at any moment as a "jackal" reaction. Living unconsciously from these foundational beliefs can block us from fully living joyfully. Once we become aware of this system of beliefs and its impact on our lives, we are able to create new possibilities of freedom and clearer choices to live from our hearts and from the authenticity of our souls. Participants will be supported to identify beliefs in some basic areas, such as: Scarcity/Abundance … Struggle/Ease … High self value/Low self value … Safety/Danger … Win-Win/Win-Lose

Optional early morning yoga sessions, and some evening sessions including movement, Yoga, or Relaxation will be offered by Rhonda Mills.

     Awakening the‘Seeing’ We Call Empathy 

NVC is a powerful process that helps us to connect with ourselves and
others in the present moment. However, sometimes events in the present
moment trigger feelings and needs that have been unmet for us in the
past. During this day we will explore how to distinguish between
present and past needs and look at how we can work to communicate and
resolve these needs.

NVC enables us to connect empathically with other people, and helps us
to help them to connect empathically with us. But what do you do when
you are feeling angry or upset to the extent that you don't want to
empathise with them? And they feel the same about you?! We call this
empathy collision, and on this day we will explore what is happening in
these situations and how we can get around this impasse. This day will
be practice oriented, to help you develop and rejuvenate your skill
with NVC.

This is an opportunity to develop your Nonvilent Communication Skills in the area of mediation. Anna and Daren have 9 years experience in the field of mediation, and have been using NVC in their mediation practice and teaching for the past 6 years. During this day they will share with you the fruits of their practice, outlining the key elements of the NVC approach to mediation, with an opportunity to practice them.

Det här är en utbildning för dig som vill fördjupa dina kunskaper i NVC för att agera trede part. För dig som vill medla i familjer, på skolor och på arbetsplatser mellan grannar
och andra som behöver hjälp att hitta en kontakt där samarbete blir möjligt.
För dig som redan är medlare och vill fördjupa dina kunskaper och få inspiration.
Du kanske är lärare, chef, aktivist, polis, socialtjänsteman, projektledare, konsult, förälder eller medmänniska.
Den största delen av utbildningen är aktivt övande av kommunikation, konflikthantering och medling i olika situationer. .

The biggest challenge in today’s life seems to be finding ways to live peacefully together. Our way of living together is not always easy to master. We would like to come together for three days in June, to develop our abilities of living together so that we can bring our experiences and skills back to our everyday lives.

We intent to create an intensive experiential learning about how relationships work within these 3 days. We want to live in a community where we explore what can be created when people value connection and honesty, and learn tools that can help us in living these values.

The workshop is designed to offer the possibility for personal growth through deepening M.B.Rosenberg’s model of nonviolent communication (NVC) skills and creating an environment where trust and honesty, even around painful issues, are valued and where everyones needs are of equal importance.

The workshop includes presentations, exercises and skill practice in small groups, sharing group process, empathy groups, and informal practices during meals etc.
Part 1: Skill building – basic and advanced – depending on participants requests.
Part 2: Live group process – Applying the skills in the group to live the NVC values.

Who would benefit?
. People who have basic knowledge of NVC.
. People who wish to broaden and deepen their nonviolent communication skills.
. People wishing to take a step toward becoming certified NVC trainers.

Har du någonsin blivit arg på ett sätt som du sedan ångrat?
Har du någonsin agerat på sätt som har fått dig att våndas av skuld och dåligt samvete?
Har du någonsin förlamats av skam och inte längre kunnat tänka klart? Då kan det här vara kursen för dig. Att utforska vad som finns bakom skuld, skam och ilska kan ofta innebära stora överraskningar. Något vi trodde att vi helst ville slippa, kan bli viktiga inre ”samarbetspartners” om vi närmar oss dem med nyfikenhet och önskan om att verkligen förstå. Att upptäcka grunden till dessa känslotillstånd är att också upptäcka vilka värderingar vårt samhälle är byggt på och hur vi kan påverka det i en riktning som bättre tjänar oss alla.
