Keys to Unlock Pathways to Peace and Power

 

Would you like to know what ‘NVC’ is REALLY all about?

 

Or, have you had a bad taste of NVC?...e.g. from someone who hasn’t integrated it, speaking to you mechanically?... Or, being offered ‘fake empathy’? 

 

Maybe, you are keen to connect with others on the path of personal and relational exploration; to create or deepen friendships and community?

 

Or, longing to contribute somehow towards a world that works better for everyone?

 

Then, come along to get to know, up close and personal, this wonderful practice we call ‘NVC’. 

 

We will see how it is both a collection of principles that support the development of a consciousness based on universal human values and needs, as well as a practical, learnable process that helps us connect more deeply with ourselves and others.

 

More than just a way of communicating, but a path which can transform the quality of all our relationships (family, friends, colleagues…), as well as so many areas of our lives (how we resolve conflicts, make decisions, transform our patterns of thinking and emotions, increase creativity, share power, and so much more).

​

In a world where communication often leads to disconnection, we provide a much needed first step along the transformative path of Nonviolent Communication (NVC).

 

NVC helps connect us with what is alive in ourselves and in others moment-to-moment, with what we or others could do to make life more wonderful, and with an awareness of what gets in the way of natural giving and receiving.
 

In this training, we journey together in an experiential exploration of the key principles and practices of of NVC, using individual and group processes, games, exercises and meditations to integrate the teachings.

- A key to NVC: A graphic model that summarises the core aspects of the language and intentions of NVC. 
 

- Three modes: Connecting with myself, Empathically listening, & Expressing myself.
 

- Four components: Focus on observable facts, genuine feelings, universal needs, and doable requests as the building blocks of effective communication.
