The NVC process created by Marshall Rosenberg Ph.D., helps connect us with what is most alive in ourselves and in others in the present moment and empowers us to make more life-serving choices.
Using NVC, we develop an awareness of what blocks our ability to give and receive and learn to reframe how we express ourselves and how we hear others. With practical communication tools, we are able to resolve conflicts by focusing on what we are observing, feeling, needing, and requesting.
In this introduction to NVC, we’ll explore the basic tools of this transformational process of compassionate communication and will practice applying them to situations from our own lives.
Space at this event is limited. If you'd like to join us, please send an email to
Lynd@CapitolNVC.org (so we’ll reserve a seat for you and know how many copies to make of the handout).
* All are invited to register for this event. We encourage you to contribute as high on the sliding scale as you are able to, with joy and ease.
