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".

The NVC Dance Floors (tm) are spatial maps made up of large cards that place Nonviolent Communication (NVC) processes on the floor in various layouts called ‘dances’. Each card represents a step in a dance of communication. These steps can be used in any sequence to support authentic, flowing, conscious communication. This description is taken from the website of Gina Lawrie and Bridget Belgrave, certified NVC trainers in the UK who developed the Dance Floors.
