SUMMARY:Beyond Basics and into Ourselves
DESCRIPTION:Beyond the Basics\, and into Ourselves \nGrow your communication and life skills in NVC to flourish and be present to what’s happening in and around you. \nWe all know that in moments of anger\, upset\, sadness\, fear or frustration there’s a much increased chance of us falling back on the kind of communication that leads to disconnection and conflict – communication that takes time and energy but does not give much in return. \nChanging how you communicate means changing habits\, changing thinking\, developing and strengthening skills\, and finding new ways to understand your thoughts and actions\, and those of the other people in your life. \nIn this NVC workshop\, we’ll explore our conditioned reactions and the hidden agendas that can keep us stuck. We can each start with acceptance of “where I am now\,” set up some practices and celebrate each new willingness to live in this consciousness and practice. \nWe’ll spend time with the practices of self empathy\, self responsibility\, identifying needs that are alive and kicking within us\, and then…self expression. \n\n A focus form the inside out\nChances to use your real-life situations to guide experiential learning\nPractice time in pairs or small groups– learning communication by communicating\nI will be sending out NVC material in the weeks before the workshop\, with a request that you spend time with it before the workshop.\n\nWho’s it for? \nThis is not an introductory workshop. \nThose with some knowledge of these NVC  concepts:  empathy\,  needs versus strategy\, and faux feelings.   You don’t have to have mastered these!  Just know the concepts\, as I will briefly review them\, but won’t be teaching them. \nNew to NVC?  There are books and links that would support you in getting these basics before the workshop.  Please contact me if you wish to acquire this understanding in order to attend this workshop. \nTo register:\nRegister Now

SUMMARY:The Art of Empathy ~ A day long interactive workshop
DESCRIPTION:An interactive\, daylong communication workshop based on the work of Marshall Rosenberg. \nWould you like to increase your ability to empathize in the moment with yourself and others?\nDo you seem to have an intellectual understanding of NVC — maybe you have read the book or watched some videos — yet you still struggle to access compassion in the daily conflicts of life? \nPlease consider joining us for this day in which we will focus on transforming any judgmental thought by translating it into feelings and needs.\nIn group exercises and structured role plays you will be answering these two crucial questions:\nWhen I am judging something as wrong what emotion am I feeling and what values of mine are at stake?\nAnd that person who is doing/saying that thing I hate/fear\, what need are they trying to meet\, just like me?\nExperiencing these two transformative questions is the basis for an empathic relationship to oneself and others. It is also crucial in any productive dialogue or negotiation: we need to understand ourselves and hear others. \nThis workshop is designed for anyone new to NVC\, as well as for anyone with NVC experience that wishes to practice and deepen empathy skills. It is all about having access to empathy for ourselves and others in the moments when we need it most! \nCost: $125 \nTo Register: please send a check for $125.00 to NVCBoston\, 49 Fairview Ave\, Watertown\, MA 02472 \nor \nsend payment to paypal: payments@nvcboston.org\nFriend’s Meeting HouseLongfellow Park\, Cambridge\, MA 02138 \nJanuary 21\, 10a-5p\nQuestions: email gcarroll@nvcboston.org

SUMMARY:MAKING REQUESTS: Bringing Needs to Life

SUMMARY:Post Election Empathy ~Listening for what Matters
DESCRIPTION:We will be donating 100% of profits coming from this workshop to a social justice cause that may be jeopardized by the recent election.  Charity to be determined after polling for input form class participants.  \nAn interactive\, daylong communication workshop based on the work of Marshall Rosenberg. \nThis month NVC Boston will be focusing on politics: a place where we rarely feel that people with different opinions are as fully human as ourselves. \nWe are inclined to trust completely the correctness of our opinion\, and to ascribe stupidity or maliciousness to those who believe differently. We flock to find agreement and validation\, avoiding conversation or even contact w the ‘others’. If we do have conversations they quickly become a futile exchange of ‘fact’s\, which\, to our surprise\, are almost completely ineffective at changing/transforming positions \nPaul and Gail will be teaching together this month. With both of them in the room there will more opportunities for coaching support\, as well as witnessing NVC in collaborative leading and conversational role plays. This class will be a multi-level class\, appropriate for beginners as well as students w NVC experience. All of us can use support in softening the judgments that prevent reconciliation and change.\nWhile we will be using political content as a place to explore transforming our judgments into needs\, while understanding the stories and suffering of our “opponents”\, any student can use their content of choice in the participatory exercises.\nThis workshop is designed for anyone new to NVC\, as well as for anyone with NVC experience that wishes to practice and deepen NVC skills. \nWhile we will be using politics as a trigger\, what we learn and practice in this workshop  can be used in a wide variety of real-life situations\, and in most all relationships\, from intimate to professional. \nBy understanding and acknowledging the human needs that underlie everyone’s words and actions\, we can create a shared basis for connection\, cooperation\, and peace. \nSome of the topics will be: \n\nListening for what matters\nreflecting what you hear\, not what you think\nUsing your judgments to discover your needs\nSelf-expressing authentically without blame\n\nThe day will be a balanced combination of group instruction\, partner work and structured role play. \nFacilitated by CNVC certified trainer Gail Carroll and Paul Merrill \nCost: $115  profits to be donated to social justice charity \nYou can register online\, or  send a check to NVCBoston\, 49 Fairview Ave\, Watertown\, MA 02472 along with  an email to Gail at gcarroll@nvcboston.org \nRegister
