Participants are requested to have completed a two day introduction to NVC, such as that on May 2nd and 3rd, also at Anam Cara.
Embracing Longing - The Spirituality of Nonviolent Communication
Nonviolent Communication (NVC) offers some simple and profound tools for deeper self awareness and self compassion. Behind every action we take, and everything we say, are universal longings we are seeking to fulfill. Knowing these longings, embracing their presence at the root of all we do, can radically change how we experience ourselves and others. Out of this clarity, decisive action can emerge, as well as new ways of expressing ourselves to others that are more likely to create outcomes that everyone will enjoy.
We will explore simple practices for better self connection, as well as developing skills in listening to one another fully. We will stretch our ability to stay congruent with our values while with others, and find skillful ways of expressing our honesty.
There will be a mix of learning styles on this workshop: solo written work, work in pairs and threes, as well as unstructured group process. With all of these contexts we will give ourselves the opportunity to experience a world beyond "right" and "wrong" where we are more connected to one another, and to our essense.
Leo Sofer has been learning and teaching NVC since 1999.
