Every day is a new start. A new start to deepen your connections and relationships in all aspects of your life. Feel empowered and inspired to deepen your connection with yourself and others in ways that feels so good to everyone! In this 6 week immersion you will take a-way a solid foundation in the basics of Nonviolent Communication consciousness and have lasting tools, ready ... to transform your world - one dialogue at a time.
Nonviolent Communication (NVC) aka Compassionate Communication is a practical and learnable process for communicating with empathy, honesty, confidence and compassion. Compassionate Communication supports creating a quality of connection with oneself and others in which everyone's needs are equally valued. This allows people to create strategies and meaningful solutions that resolve issues and deepen relationships in all aspects of life. Using NVC tools, participants will learn how to transform everyday day blame, shame, and critical expression into interactions that focus on mutual human needs.
You will practice the context and learning shared in class in a very unique setting: You will be matched with a Learning Partner (LP).
With your LP you will discuss, debrief your fieldwork, get a deeper understanding of the concepts and consciousness and, most importantly, experience a sense of contribution, acceptance, accountability, mutuality, etc.
We know of LP connections so satisfying that they have been going on for years beyond the classes.
"Elana rocks! I have repeatedly used the concepts that I learned in her class.... to the benefit of my co-workers, family, friends, and myself! Elana has a way of unraveling the complexities of communication and encouraging honesty at depth. Greater compassion and deeper understanding emerged for me! Thank you, Elana!"
