Social Change

Pendant cette session, nos objectifs sont de… :

• …nous familiariser avec la pratique spécifique des jeux de rôle en CNV et d’en mesurer toute la puissance de transformation et de guérison ;

• …apprendre à créer l’espace intérieur pour accueillir ce qui est, se faire le canal de la ‘force qui transforme’ et être présent/e en toute confiance ;

• …goûter à l’art du « rester avec » (c’est-à-dire l’art d’accueillir vraiment et entièrement ce qui est partagé, de se réjouir de la souffrance exprimée par l’autre qui lui permet de se libérer) ;

• …apprendre à retourner en soi après avoir été totalement présent/e à l’autre ;

• …repérer nos réactions corporelles, qui sont les indicateurs les plus sûrs pour savoir à quoi il sera essentiel de répondre après avoir écouté notre interlocuteur ; acquérir la capacité à les traduire en sentiments et besoins ;

• …faire la différence entre les jeux de rôle à vocation didactique et les jeux de rôle dits de guérison ou de transformation.

CONTRIBUTIONS AND FINANCIAL INFORMATION

i. Sliding scale
The amount we request for taking part in the Facilitating Change Program is on a sliding scale of $4,500 -7,500 for the year, plus room and board, with a median of $6,000. Room and board will be approximately $70 per day, on site; camping or bedrolling may also be available at $40 per day.

ii. Group participation
We have found that two or more people learning NVC together deepens the impact and integration of NVC in an organization; wanting to support this kind of learning, we encourage two or more people from an organization to register for the program together. To support several registering from one organization, we invite each person in the ‘group” to deduct $500 per person from the sliding scale.

iii. Accessibility
We have a commitment to inclusion in the FC program (and all resources in society), regardless of financial means. At the same time, we desire support and ease of support in offering this program, and a sense of shared partnership, contribution, and community. If you’d like to support yourself or others in joining the program at a contribution below the sliding scale requested, we ask you to consider joining our fundraising team. We would also welcome your contributing support in other ways; please contact us for details! In our desire to create a world of interdependence and mutual support, we ask you to consider inviting friends, family, faith and community organizations and/or your employer to financially support you in participating in the Facilitating Change program. We would also welcome your support in letting others know about the FC program.

The biggest challenge in today’s world seems a
struggle how to live peacefully together in different settings and structures.
Art of Living Together is not always easy to master. We are carrying in our
hearts a dream to come together in Estonia each year for one week around Eastern (we
celebrate - this will be already 7th time!) to sharpen our abilities of living together
so that we can bring our experiences and skills back to our everyday lives.

Practice the principles of NVC!

Our intention within these seven days is to create an
intensive experiment and experience of how relationships work. We want to live
in a community where we explore what can be created when people value connection
and honesty, and practice tools that can help us in living these values.

Come and let’s experiment together how can we create an
environment where trust and honesty, even around painful issues, are valued and
your needs are as important as everyone’s else’s!

Our aim is to offer you and ourselves possibility for personal
growth through deepening Noviolent Communication skills and awareness.

Topics in this experimental week include the spiritual
foundation of NVC, living NVC

within ourselves, in our relationships, and in the
world, working with intimate relationships, anger, guilt, shame, money issues,
scarcity thinking and much more. All participants are welcome to offer sessions
on topics that are mostly valuable for themselves.
