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.

7:00-9:30PM, (Adults and youth 13 and up)
For those new to NVC and those who want to review/deepen their practice. Via role-plays based on live situations that interest you, we will review the basic principles and practices of compassionate, Nonviolent Communication, finding ways to make accurate observations, state your needs and feelings clearly and respond to those of others with compassion. We will explore practical skills to support a consciousness of curiosity, openness, mutuality, care and trust in the building of relationships. Register for one day or both. Families/RE teachers especially welcome!

February - October of 2008, comprehensive program including four 3-day retreats. Transform our cultural programming of leadership linked to "leader as dominator" or "leader as tyrant" and authority seen as the source of fear, punishment, and coercion. Healing our "authority wounds", we experience leadership as a meaningful and joyous quality of partnership that acknowledges the gifts we can all offer one another. In this training, learn and integrate skills to head in directions toward creating an environment where all need matter. Leading one another with no one paying the price of domination by remaining committed to the clarity of our intentions and awareness of our interdependence.

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.
