NVC INTRO MAY SUNDAYS

Details

I invite you to join me for a 4-week live introduction to Nonviolent Communication (NVC) using the three Tools-Not-Rules of The Withing Way™ — a simple, practical, and reliable approach to living NVC every day. This series is not about theory. It’s about embodying communication that actually works — with yourself and with others. What you’ll receive: When you register, you will receive a Companion Handbook (PDF) that includes: The 5-Point Overview (our shared foundation) The 3 Tools–Not–Rules of The Withing Way™ The Dictionary of Me Practices and examples you can use right away Since you receive it when you register, you can look through it before the first session to see where you agree, disagree, or have questions to bring to the calls. What the space is like: This is a live, interactive, small-group experience on Zoom (not recorded) We create together a non-judgmental space alive with learning and discovery. Instead of wondering who is right and who is wrong, we can ask instead with curiosity What’s going on… You are welcome exactly as you are. BYOC = Bring Your Own Conflicts We are asked to bring ourselves willing to learn and grow, bringing our lifetimes of experience to share (at the depth we each choose). You already carry wisdom, intuition, and insight — and we’ll be inviting and honoring that within each of us. Some of what we’ll explore together: Across our four Sundays, we can explore some basic concepts, such as:: >We can’t “get it right” - and we can’t “get it wrong” We can practice and ask instead of right or wrong, we can practice asking “What is going on?” >How to slow down and access clarity (“The slower you go, the farther you get — faster.”) >How the message is always about the messenger >The “grammar/punctuation” of NVC (not mixing the “I.” with the “You?”) using: I-statements: (I feel_____. I need_____.) You-questions: Are you feeling____? Are you needing____? Getting some useful strategies like: >Clue Words >Hearing “NO” and Saying “NO” >Interrupting for connection >NVC (permeable) Shield >Parking Lot >POP (Power of the Pause) >Stepping towards conflict instead of hiding, defending, or escalating If you’d like to contribute a different amount (more or less), please email me to arrange that mairalight@gmail.com My intention is to make this accessible & I’m happy to work with you.
