Description for the non-violent communication workshop by the trainer:

There are many situations where it can be hard to get on the same page with another person or to connect deeply with them. When you don’t see eye-to-eye with a project partner. When you find yourself hiding behind your social mask while going out with friends.

Nonviolent communication is a tool that helps people to connect more deeply and authentically and collaborate more easily. During our workshop day we will learn how our existing habits can often drive disconnection and what we can do instead. Learning nonviolent communication is like learning any new language. Just knowing the words and the grammar doesn’t mean you can speak the language fluently. It will take lots of practice and that’s why we will practice with every new concept you’ll learn.

You’ve probably heard that maybe only 20% of human communication is verbal communication and the rest is nonverbal. That’s because our bodies are not completely under our control, they almost have a mind of their own. This also comes into play when we practice nonviolent communication. Our minds will find it hard to connect deeply with each other if our bodies don’t feel safe and relaxed. That’s why I’m bringing my friend Lore as an assistant, who is an expert when it comes to the body. She will bring in exercises that help us connect with our own bodies more, which will in turn contribute to a somatic sense of safety and trust.

At the end of the day you’ll get a chance to use your newly learned tools to talk with someone in your group about something you maybe didn’t dare to tell them yet. Don’t worry, my assistant and I will be there to help you.

Workshop:
- Max €7 per person, the rest will be taken from the budget.
