Course Description: 

The wisdom which Nonviolent Communication (NVC) is based on is as old as humanity itself. This weekend retreat draws insights from NVC’s elder siblings of Taoism, Buddhism, and North American Indigenous culture to awaken clarity and power in our practice of Nonviolent Communication, including topics such as:

Why Intention is the Fundamental Principle of NVC, and How to Cultivate its Power
The Other NVC: Non-Verbal Communication
How to End the Illusion of ‘My Needs’ and ‘Your Needs’
How to Walk in the Dark, when NVC forms aren’t Creating Connection

Utilizing art, movement, discussion, meditation, and games, we will explore together this rich texture of what it is to be human.
