Make Life More Wonderful
In this half-day workshop, you will build on a basic knowledge of NVC to use it more fluently in a range of contexts.
In the NVC Basics workshop we introduce the fundamental concepts of NVC – empathy and self-expression, using observations, feelings, needs and requests.
The dance of NVC is about putting these pieces together skillfully in an exchange with another person. In each moment we have choices on where to put our attention. Should I self-express, or make an empathy guess? What am I feeling, and what do I need? What do I want from the person in front of me?
Navigating these choices starts with self-connection. Self-connection is an internal process of paying attention to feelings and needs – our own, and those of others. It helps us to be more calm and clear about what we want, and opens up the field of possibilities for how to move forward together. When grounded in self-connection we are better able to choose how we show up, for ourselves and with others.
In this workshop we introduce self-connection as the basis for navigating the dance of NVC. At each step we return to self-connection before deciding where to put our attention next.
This workshop is suitable for anyone who has attended our NVC Basics workshop or another introductory NVC training.
