Inner Disarmament Workshop
The Art of Pro-active Communication
Saturday, October 26th @ 1:00 PM
Nonviolent Comminication (NVC) is a language of life that encourages a way of speaking and listening that builds stronger bonds of trust and collaboration. These skills empower people to navigate challenging conflicts, fostering greater confidence in resolving interactions in a way that benefits everyone. Roshi Robert Althouse has been teaching these skills for over fifteen years.
This workshop will integrate four things:
Consciousness: a set of principles that support living a life of compassion, collaboration, courage, and authenticity
Language: understanding how words contribute to connection or dis-connection
Communication: knowing how to ask for what we need, how to remain present during a conflict, and how to move forward toward solutions that work for everyone
Collaboration: sharing “power with others” rather than using “power over others”
This work will help participants:
Increase their ability to live with choice, meaning, and connection
Connect empathically with self and others to have more satisfying relationships
Share resources so everyone benefits
The skills learned in this workshop will help participants learn a new, more pro-active way of speaking and listening. These skills can help reduce animosity and turn conflict into an opportunity to grow stronger bonds of trust and collaboration.
