“I love you, & I really want to understand you.”
Our intimate relationships are so important to us, and yet sometimes we struggle to connect with our partners. We feel unable to understand them, and completely stymied about expressing ourselves both authentically and lovingly. In this workshop we will explore how to use challenges in intimate relationships as opportunities to grow both individually and as a couple.
Throughout the day, structured exercises will allow you to safely explore some of thetensions in your relationship. You will gain skills for understanding yourself and your partner more accurately as you learn how to transform conflicts into shared dilemmas, and how to connect again after disconnection. While this is deep work, we’ll also laugh together, practice appreciation and gratitude, while enjoying a day of renewed connection and hope.
The workshop is open to couples who are new to NVC as well as those with NVC experience. This day is focused on relationships, but everyone – with or without a partner is welcome.
Consider joining us for this workshop in which we will focus on transforming any judgmental thought by translating it into feelings and needs.
This is a great opportunity for couples to get on the same page with NVC.
Paul and Gail use their own relationship and challenges in sharing how they use NVC as a structure in their own relationship.
The workshop is open to those who are new to NVC as well as those with NVC experience.

Facilitated by CNVC certified trainer Gail Carroll and Paul Merrill
Gail and Paul were both teachers of NVC when they met as continuing students in a year long NVC mediation program in 2010. Sharing a common language of NVC was crucial to remaining connected throughout the inevitable conflicts of intimacy. In 2011, they began to focus their NVC teaching on skills and practices they were using in their own relationship conflicts.
