Restorative Community Justice of Southern VT (RCJSV) provides free monthly trainings in restorative practices (RP), methods of restorative justice (RJ), and nonviolent conflict resolution. This month, we're pleased to host Laurie Rabut for another installment of training in the use and methods of Nonviolent Communication (NVC):

Laurie will lead a session of concrete practical skills for dealing with conflict using the Non Violent Communication model developed by Marshall Rosenberg. The session will include brief general background of NVC consciousness and review of the concepts covered at her last training for newcomers and will also allow an opportunity to continue and deepen the work for those who attended the last training.

We will practice:
- Making observations without layers of judgement/interpretation
- Empathic listening
- Connecting with feelings that arise
- Identifying the universal human needs generated by those feelings
- Making requests that offer an opportunity for choice and connection
- Power dynamics (power with vs power under)
- Hearing the "yes" beneath the "no"

RCJSV trainings are free to all community members (donations for the use of the space are welcome). Please RSVP by replying to this post or email rcjsvt@gmail.com.
