Basic Training

Nonviolent Communication (NVC) strengthens our compassion, helping us to make heart to heart connections with our family, friends, neighbours and work colleagues. It is being used worldwide by parents, teachers, doctors, social workers, managers and others to improve their work and home life.

This two day residential Basic Training introduces 'heart to heart' communication as a means of strengthening our compassion towards ourselves and the people around us. You will learn how to deepen your connections, become more alive and resolve conflicts harmoniously. You will:

• See the steps of the NVC process for use in expressing yourself to others, listening to others and listening compassionately to yourself
• Get sufficient information and practice to start using NVC in your daily life
• Benefit from an experiential style working with examples from participants' lives
• See the NVC Dance Floors for active, integrated learning
• Is challenging, moving, supportive and fun!
