Event Description: Imagine being able to stay connected to the human spirit within each person and within yourself in any situation - no matter how tough it might be;
Imagine transforming blame, misunderstanding and conflict into respectful, constructive communication.

This workshop will offer the core skills and concepts of NVC as applied to transforming conflict: how to express ‘hard-to-hear’ messages in a way the other person can receive them, how to stay in empathic connection under pressure when in conflict - not only with the other person but also with yourself - and how to find ways for everyone’s needs to be met peacefully. The workshop is experiential and will offer participants the opportunity to explore situations from their own lives.
