Practice Group - (Compassionate + Authentic Relating / NVC)

Meeting every 2 weeks on a Tuesday evening 

7:30 -9:00pm (GMT / UK)

This practice group is set out to support you in embodying the tools and skill of Nonviolent Communication AKA compassionate and Authentic relating. 

Each week we will gather together in a community of humans who have idealy completed a beginners course (or equivilent) and are now looking to practice and learn together, so that you can further your understanding and integrated awareness of the basic principals of NVC.

Although it is highly recomended that you join each week in order to embody and understand the materials as we move through them, this is not a course and so you are free to join when you like. 

What will I learn and practice?

The practice of Nonviolent Communication (NVC) offers simple but extremely powerful tools , to better understand ourselves and each other and to find solutions that work for everyone through observation, compassion and honesty.

In this practice group, we will cover:

- Making clear observations to support connection

- Celebrating our judgments and finding the gold behind complaints and strong opinions

- Listening to hard to hear messages#

- What to do when you feel too triggered to talk or listen?

- The magic and creativity of our needs

- The art of making real requests

- Standing for your needs whilst keeping an open heart

- The power of saying no and the beauty behind every NO

And MUCH much more!

HOW?

In a closed online group, in a safe environment, we will practice the NVC method through demonstrations, role-plays and exercises in pairs and groups. You will be invited to work with real-life examples from your life for an interactive experience and a real integration of NVC philosophy and skills into everyday life.
