“Becoming What You Need” sets the foundation for learning Nonviolent Communication in ways that synchronize language, emotions, and actions through meaning.
These 8-week series offer an integrated physical, emotional, and linguistic map for practicing and understanding Nonviolent Communication processes.Becoming What You Need lays the foundation for learning Nonviolent Communication in ways that synchronize language, emotions, and actions through meaning. At the heart of this virtual course are simple yet deep practices to explore NVC as a whole-body/mind, lifelong art and practice—for listening empathically through tough conversations, finding common ground, and speaking your truth with power and compassion.
Together we will:
-
Return again and again to what we most love about the paths we are choosing.
-
Recognize and work with the anxiety held in old embodied reactions and strategies that no longer serve us.
-
Choose enlivening practices that support what we deeply care about now and who we are becoming.
-
Cultivate, through deliberate and committed practice, the resources to connect more capably, easily, and joyfully.
