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

Transformative Communication
A NVC Introduction Training led by Henry Wai

Increase your capacities for making the difference you want with yourself, others and your community. This one-day training (Sat May 31) provides an introduction to the core concepts and activities for and learning practice.

With an emphasis on active learning, you will:
- learn how the core NVC concepts and tools support constructive, authentic relationships

- be challenged and moved, receive support and have fun.

Fee: $95 - Individual (bring a friend for $75 (fees flexible for those with financial barriers)

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.

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.

Deepening workshops of Nonviolent Communication (5x2 days, dates: May 12th/13th, June 9th/10th, August 16th/17th, September 16th/17th, Ocotber 14th/15th)
These 10 days will focus on “inner work” and exploring our relationships and dialogues with ourselves and situations that trigger us. The workshops will help you to discover choices we didn’t know we had and the tools to relate to yourself with a greater sense of compassion.
We offer the opportunity to come for the first workshop to get to know me and then sign up for the rest.
In my experience before we can connect compassionately with others we first need to learn to connect compassionately with ourselves.
The workshop is also an opportunity to become part of a group that continues developing NVC skills and consciousness over the time.

Nonviolent (Compassionate) Communication by Dr. Marshall Rosenberg offers a clear, practical process for communicating without judging ourselves or others and to hear others' feelings and wants even though they might be hidden behind judgments and critici sm.

You will be learning the basic NVC steps as well as practice with your own examples.

Create extraordinary relationships one conversation at a time!  Whether you want to improve your relationship with yourself, your family, co-workers or community, your participation in this course will open new doors and expand your options.  You will gain concrete skills for resolving conflict and building trust in a multi-sensory learning environment that fosters safety, authenticity, depth and fun!

In each 3-hour session, Holly teaches the concepts and demonstrates the skills within the context of the large group.  She also convenes the large group at the end of each session for debriefing, homework assignments, and closing.

Holly is joined by Asharaine Machala, a member of the Apprenticeship Circle to coach participants in the break-out portion of each session.  This one-on-one coaching leads to rapid integration of the skills introduced in the large group.

Asharaine has been studying NVC with Holly Eckert for 5 years, as well as volunteering with the Alternatives to Violence Project in the men's prisons since 1999.   Her passion for understanding the whole Human Being: body, soul and spirit, has lead her through careers in the arts and the business world, always seeking spirit in matter and matter in spirit.

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.
