Day

This Practice Group begins with a "remembering" for inspiration, centering and connecting with ourselves. This is followed by a "check-in" when we share how we are, what we bring with us or what we hope to receive during the session. Activities include: short education exercises, empathy, role-plays, games and discussions. Participants can facilitate the group with prior arrangement with Rodger Sorrow

Time 7 - 9 PM Pacific

Open to all

Our OVERALL VISION is to live in NVC consciousness with
our families and each other in a community setting.  Family Camp is a
place where everyone’s needs matter: - playing - learning - growing -
loving...  It is a place to explore the realm of compassionate strength
and connection.

By offering each other our presence and empathy we
will dip into what it’s like to live in a world where the intention is
to contribute to the quality of connection  necessary to meet
everyone’s needs.  We will explore how we are living NVC with
ourselves, our children/youth and each other, with the intention of
deepening our ability to integrate NVC into our daily lives and to
build community with other families. We carry the hope that you will be
able to extend your experience at the camp into your daily lives by
fostering the connections you have made.

Deepening workshops of Nonviolent Communication (5x2 days, dates: May 12th/13th, June 9th/10th, August 16th/17th, September 16th/17th, Ocotber 14th/15th)
These 10 days will focus on “inner work” and exploring our relationships and dialogues with ourselves and situations that trigger us. The workshops will help you to discover choices we didn’t know we had and the tools to relate to yourself with a greater sense of compassion.
We offer the opportunity to come for the first workshop to get to know me and then sign up for the rest.
In my experience before we can connect compassionately with others we first need to learn to connect compassionately with ourselves.
The workshop is also an opportunity to become part of a group that continues developing NVC skills and consciousness over the time.

Auf Basis der Nonviolent Communication® können Sie Ihre Kompetenzen weiter entwickeln, selbstverantwortlich Beziehungen gestalten und eine wertschätzende, respektvolle Haltung stärker integrieren.
Jeder verfügt über emotionale Intelligenz, doch lang erlernte Sprachmuster erschweren es oft, sich der inneren Klarheit und Stärke bewusst zu werden und sie zu nutzen.

Unsere Ausbildungen und Aufbautrainings haben bisher Menschen besucht, die die Qualität ihrer Beziehungen verbessern und ihre Entscheidungs- und Handlungsmöglichkeiten erweitern möchten, im beruflichen oder privaten Umfeld:
als Führungskraft, Projektleiterin oder Kollege, in beruflichen Veränderungsprozessen, Familie und Partnerschaft, mit Kunden, Patienten, vor Gericht, in Beratungs- und Lehrtätigkeiten, in journalistischer oder interkultureller Arbeit.

For people who have had at least an Intro to NVC.  I'm giving one on July 29th.

Nonviolent Communication är ett stöd för dig som vill lära dig kommunicera på sätt som skapar mer kontakt och mindre motstånd. Det är en kommunikationsprocess som hjälper oss att skapa en dialog där vi kan mötas i samförstånd. För den här kursen används ett digitalt klassrum där du får individuell feedback på din uppgifter. Där har du också möjlighet att dela funderingar och insikter med andra som går kursen.
Kursinnehåll: Varje vecka behandlar vi ett kapitel i boken Nonviolent Communication, ett språk för livet. Du gör övningar för att tillämpa det du lär.
Kursmoment och arbetssätt: Kursen är helt på distans, utan fasta träffar och vi möts via Internet. Du kan alltså befinna dig vart du vill så länge du har tillgång till Internet vilket innebär ett flexibelt lärande där du själv kan välja när du gör de uppgifter som följer med utbildningen.

NVC enables us to connect empathically with other people, and helps us
to help them to connect empathically with us. But what do you do when
you are feeling angry or upset to the extent that you don't want to
empathise with them? And they feel the same about you?! We call this
empathy collision, and on this day we will explore what is happening in
these situations and how we can get around this impasse. This day will
be practice oriented, to help you develop and rejuvenate your skill
with NVC.

Nonviolent (Compassionate) Communication by Dr. Marshall Rosenberg offers a clear, practical process for communicating without judging ourselves or others and to hear others' feelings and wants even though they might be hidden behind judgments and critici sm.

You will be learning the basic NVC steps as well as practice with your own examples.
