The Nonviolent Communication Process
Around the world, interest continues to grow for using this process to
support empowerment, everyday peacemaking, conflict transformation, and
healing. Developed by Dr. Marshall Rosenberg, this process is practiced in 72
countries in a variety of settings including family, workplace, activism,
social service, education, mediation, prison, and government.

Walls and Doorways:Connecting Across
Differences with Nonviolent Communication

* Sat. Feb. 2, 2013   - 1:30 to 5:00 pm   (downtown Toronto)

Do
you experience differences with others as a wall or a doorway? Whether we’re
engaging with family, friends, co-workers, or people in our community, it
really helps to have a way to connect – to reveal that which we have in common.
People in distress are thirsty for empathy. Your ability to be present to
others with care, focus, and minimal reactions can make the difference between
a breakdown and a breakthrough. Learn how to maintain relationship and get to the
heart of what is really the matter behind criticisms, complaints, judgements,
and insults.

Join us for an interactive
session to develop your empathic abilities and discover new possibilities.

Prequisite:have completed a half day introduction to Nonviolent
Communication such as the “You, Me and We” session or equivalent.

The Dance of Communication:Expressing What Moves Youwith Nonviolent Communication

* Sat. Mar. 16, 2013- 10:00 to 5:00 pm   (downtown Toronto)

The
NVC Dance Floors are spatial maps made up of large cards that place NVC
processes on the floor in various layouts called ‘dances’. Each card represents
a step in a dance of communication. These steps can be used in any sequence to
support authentic, flowing, conscious communication. This is a way to integrate
bodily, auditory and visual ways of learning.

You
will extend your understanding and abilities in NVC by walking through the
steps of
-
an Inner Dance which supports experiencing deep connection with life, and
with resourceful creativity.
- an
‘Inner-Outer Dances’ for role-playing a dialogue

Communication training
