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

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.

A 20-hour course in Nonviolent Communication(sm)/Brooklyn NVC's Foundations I Program
Learn to see conflict as opportunity!

How do you currently deal with conflict?
• Do you become angry or frustrated?
• Do you shut down emotionally or hold back?
• Do you feel frightened or immobilized?
• Are you frustrated that people don’t see your side?
• Do you avoid confrontation at all costs? Or find it lurking everywhere you turn?
• Would you like it to just go away?
• Do you wish you had better tools to deal with conflict more effectively?
In this course you will learn to:
• Foster cooperation & trust
• Listen actively without losing sight of your own concerns
• Know that you were fully heard
• Learn the difference between a request and a demand
• Make clear, positive, do-able requests

Are you ready for an intensive NVC experience? Eager to jump-start your integration of NVC skills and consciousness? Do you want to see what it's like to live NVC in a supportive community? To stretch your heart muscles and grow?

Nonviolent Communication är ett stöd för dig som vill lära dig kommunicera på sätt som skapar mer kontakt och mindre motstånd. Det är en kommunikationsprocess som hjälper oss att skapa en dialog där vi kan mötas i samförstånd. För den här kursen används ett digitalt klassrum där du får individuell feedback på din uppgifter. Där har du också möjlighet att dela funderingar och insikter med andra som går kursen.
Kursinnehåll: Varje vecka behandlar vi ett kapitel i boken Nonviolent Communication, ett språk för livet. Du gör övningar för att tillämpa det du lär.
Kursmoment och arbetssätt: Kursen är helt på distans, utan fasta träffar och vi möts via Internet. Du kan alltså befinna dig vart du vill så länge du har tillgång till Internet vilket innebär ett flexibelt lärande där du själv kan välja när du gör de uppgifter som följer med utbildningen.
