Me, you, us
A three part course exploring ourselves and our relationships, grounded in the principles and tools of Nonviolent Communication (NVC)
Wednesday evenings - 17 October, 21 November, 12 December 2018
7 - 9.30 pm
Quaker Meeting House, 6 Church St, Colchester CO1 1NF
Suitable for everyone interested in gaining insights and skills to deepen their own self-knowledge and connections with others – ideal for those new to NVC as well as those who have prior experience. The course is designed to be repeated as these are big topics where further exploration will bring more rewards as you practice and improve your skills.
The skills you'll learn will be equally useful with your partner, children, relatives, co-workers or customers, friends or even the call centre worker on the other end of the phone!
Sessions will include explanation and guidance from experienced facilitator Clare Palmer, plenty of practice, time to share your own experiences and learn and be inspired by others in the group in a friendly, safe atmosphere. Handouts and drinks provided.
To book - please fill in the booking form and make your payment and your place will be confirmed.
Session 1 – Me
Session 2 – You
Session 3 – Us
Three weekday evening sessions of 2 hours, 7 – 9.30 pm including half an hour connection time after the session
Venue central Colchester, to be confirmed
Financial request £60 for the course - £30 if living on means-tested benefits or equivalent low income
Further series to be held in 2019
For those who have already attended some NVC training or events, this will be an opportunity to deepen and take further your NVC practice. It would also work for people who haven't been to training yet - however as I won't be going over the basic principles in such a structured way (though they will be explored as they arise), I would recommend you do some introductory reading such as 'NVC: A Language of Life' by Marshall Rosenberg.
