DESCRIPTION
Do you want to become a bridge for peace in the midst of conflict and separation?
This course is an opportunity to empower yourself with NVC skills and practices to help restore trust and reclaim togetherness amid separation and polarization.
This course is for you if you’d like to:
✔️ Learn the basic principles of NVC
✔️ Understand an impact without defensiveness
✔️ Know how to take responsibility and leave the guilt
✔️ Learn how to mourn when you contribute to unmet needs without shame
✔️ Discover how to transform enemy images and reclaim everyone's humanity
✔️ Learn how to integrate feedback and make new agreements and choices that work for all
In honor of the International Day of Peace on September 21, this series will teach basic NVC tools and skills to resolve conflicts and restore trust in a variety of social contexts like families, schools, neighborhood church groups, and businesses.
Using live examples from participants, you can expect:
- A presentation of NVC basics and the fundamental NVC approach to conflict
- Demonstrations of the internal and external skills needed to support healing and reconciliation under conditions where there is a break in trust— and lots of opportunities for practice!
- To learn to access everyone's humanity and create a field of innocence beyond 'right-wrong' and 'either/or'.
- To learn to access and embody people's vulnerable truths in moments when they are most likely to hide behind their protections.
- To practice translating judgments, threats, demands, and criticism into feelings, needs, and “please and thank you” to help open hearts and make choices that are likely to care for everyone, yourself included.
- To learn to hold everyone's choice firmly, and compensate for power differences, so that everyone's voices and needs are included and peaceful agreements are made based on true willingness with no coercion or giving up.
Each session will include a slide presentation, modeling in the big group using live situations, and practice in small groups.
