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

Time 7 - 9 PM Pacific

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.

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.

This course is designed for those who want to make a fundamental transformation in the way they relate with their inner and outer worlds. You can expect to emerge from the 30 days with increased clarity, efficiency, connection, tenderness and strength as well as a new depth of confidence and peace.
The course is based in the practical and practicable, so you’ll find countless opportunities in daily life to apply your growing skills.

This complete course consists of:
• Five weekly classes of three hours each
• Daily homework of 30-60 minutes
• In-depth weekend assignments
• An online forum for homework processing and support
• One private session with Holly

Une journée par mois pour pratiquer la Communication NonViolente sur des sujets qui vous tiennent à cœur. Ces journées s’adressent aux personnes ayant déjà participé à deux jours d’introduction à la CNV. Le travail est orienté essentiellement vers des situations concrètes de la vie quotidienne des participants et les thèmes abordés le sont en fonction des demandes de chacun.

In this workshop the behaviors, concepts, and mindset of NVC will be presented and demonstrated, and opportunities provided for each individual to practice these behaviors on their own real life situations through role plays.  Initially the model is presented through lecture with examples, utilizing paper and pencil exercises so that participants may practice each step.  Much discussion occurs.  Then role plays for practice with coaching from the instructor follow.

The class occurs over two sessions, Friday, May 9 from 7pm-9:30 pm and Saturday, May 10 from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm.  .

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.

Discover a life-transforming communication practice that builds trust, transforms conflict, and creates harmony in your relationships.  Learn how to create a quality of connection between yourself and others where everyone's needs, even in conflict situations, are held with care and compassion... without resorting to punishment, force, manipulation, blame or other approaches that we end up paying for later.
 
Learn how to honor your deepest desires in every moment, and never give in or give up on your needs again.  You will learn how to:
* express yourself honestly and openly;
* hear difficult messages without taking them personally;
* connect with others by communicating empathy;
* develop a compassionate internal relationship to move beyond self-blame and self-doubt; and
* create peace in your outer world.

 FEE REQUEST:  $35/person.  We encourage you to register/RSVP early, as space is limited and we anticipate tha this training will be full.
