Capital NVC

One Sunday afternoon a month our facilitated group meets in Baltimore to practice Nonviolent Communication skills and address questions of communications and connection. To help orient "newbies" we usually spend about half an hour focusing on basic NVC principles. It's no surprise to "oldies" that this adds depth to our understanding too. This month we will look at the NVC understanding of feelings.

We then focus on a specific skill or tool. This month we will work on "Deepening Empathy Skills".

Nonviolent Communication (NVC) is more than a way of talking to one another -- it is a way of being in the world that supports us in experiencing satisfying relationships, inner peace, compassion, authenticity and aliveness. NVC offers recipes for communicating but these rely on a foundation involving a shift in consciousness. Please join CNVC Certified Trainer Bob Wentworth for an experiential introduction to this exciting body of ideas and practices.

Both Buddhist teachings and personal experience show that we suffer to the extent that we are attached to things being a certain way -- grasping for what we want, or in aversion to what we don't want. At the same time, life energy resides in our desires and longings, and in moving towards what we value. How can have the aliveness and sense of direction that come from fully want ing what we want, while remaining openhearted about the possibility of not getting it? Please join CNVC Certified Trainer Bob Wentworth to experience an exploration around this issue.
