Through the practice of empathy and self-expression\, we can transform situations\, and relationships\, by owning the fullness of our experience in terms of our own feelings and needs\, and then expressing that without blame or criticism. \nThe workshop is open to those who are new to NVC as well as to those with NVC experience. The day will be a balanced combination of group instruction\, partner work and simple structured role-plays. \nMarch 18\, 2017   ~   10a-5p \nFriends  Meeting House\, 5 Longfellow Park\, Cambridge\, MA \nIf you are not already familiar with NVC\, you can take the NVC Academy online introduction\, or read the first 8 chapters of Marshall B.

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 URL:https://www.nvcboston.org/event/day-long-nvc-workshop/ LOCATION:MA END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20161117T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20161117T170000 DTSTAMP:20260425T175003 CREATED:20161117T230514Z LAST-MODIFIED:20161117T230813Z UID:2599-1479369600-1479402000@www.nvcboston.org SUMMARY:Speaking Peace - an Evening Intro to NVC DESCRIPTION:On Tuesday\, December 6th we will be offering an intro to NVC through So Just. \nHere is the link:  http://www.meetup.com/sojust-tm/events/235129154/ \nAre you tired of conversations that involve aggravation\, intimidation and manipulation?
