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

Finding the Center 2008:The Fourth Annual Action-Oriented Human Rights Conference “Resolving Differences: The Seed of Unity” April 4 & 5, 2008, UofI
Resolving differences while protecting human rights may very well be the only viable path to unity and true peace. This challenge calls for concrete efforts and essential skills in order to achieve genuine harmony. “Resolving Differences: the Seed of Unity” is the theme of FTC 2008 which brings together well-known leaders and practitioners in the field of human rights and conflict resolution. Through engaging presentations and dynamic workshops, the conference will enhance knowledge, provide tools, teach methods, and inspire social activism.

Wil je op een andere manier leren communiceren? In je gezin en op je werk? In deze Introductietraining leer je onder meer zien wat maakt dat jouw communicatie-strategieën soms niet werken. Ook ontdek je hoe je kunt achterhalen wat er in jezelf en in de ander leeft. En hoe je daar uitdrukking aan kunt geven op zo'n manier dat de ander naar je luistert. En 'last but not least' je leert in verbinding te blijven met de ander, ook als het lastig wordt.

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.

- Transform habitual patterns without blame, reward, or punishment

- Shift the dynamic of any relationship without changing anyone

NVC is a concrete set of language and practical communication skills. Together, they form a powerful process that transforms conflict, creates harmony in relationships, and builds a world where everyone's needs are met peacefully.

“The Living Energy of Needs” supports the ongoing development of foundational NVC skills and consciousness. In addition to supporting core NVC skills, we have continued to develop our training over the past five years to help participants practically access and live from a deeper dimension of needs. We weave the experience of the living energy of needs throughout the training, as the core dimension from which we learn and live the NVC process.
Join “The Living Energy of Needs” to strengthen your NVC skills and deepen your ability to access the consciousness and life enriching energy of needs beyond the simple identification of them.

This is a 16-hour foundation workshop for people who would like to improve communication with children in their lives. It will give you all the tools you need to start using NVC in your daily life. We work with real life examples in a fun and safe environment.

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.

Are you frequently living in disappointment or anger because your standards are not met? Or are you in a relationship with someone who is? This class will reveal the true beauty underneath the criticism and give perfectionists, their friends and family a roadmap for the creation of a shared vision.
While the Radiant Relations 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.
