This a brief overview and introduction to the theory and practice of nonviolent communication. It is not a full training but will provide clear description of the foundational principles to begin practicing its use in your life.
Nonviolent Communication (NVC), or Compassionate Communication, is a powerful tool for transforming, mediating, and de-escalating interpersonal, intra-personal, organizational, and inter-group conflicts. It is used worldwide by activists, teachers, conflict specialists, doctors, diplomats, social workers, managers and others to improve their work and home life. The practice of NVC can help us understand ourselves more fully, provide us with a sense of power and choice in our lives, and open our hearts to compassionately connect and collaborate with others.
This is designed for those that may have no to little prior studies of any special nonviolent communication. This session will expose participants to the basic strategies and skills of nonviolent communication that are used in the types of conflicts that might arise in your personal life as well as in other settings. You may want to try out new skills with family members, co-workers, and neighbors. *Please consider bringing a conflict you might like to work on.
