NVC & Relationship Skills Practice Group

Dec 2, 2024, 12 to 8:30 PM

Do you sometimes feel torn between the impossible choices of stuffing your anger and ignoring your own needs, or speaking up for yourself and facing the anger of someone else? Nonviolent Communication (NVC) is a four-step process to help you express and honor your own needs in a way that is gentle yet direct.

This way of speaking also informs our way of thinking - moving us from focusing on ideas about who is right or wrong, or good or bad, and instead, focusing on what needs people are trying to meet, and how we can work together to find strategies that meet everyone's needs.

This is not a therapy group, but instead an educational group to learn NVC and other relationship skills. People will bring real scenarios that were difficult for them, and together we can apply our new skills to gain clarity about the situation.

We ask that all participants watch at least the first 20 minutes (without guitar playing is fine) of the YouTube video "The Basics of Nonviolent Communication with Marshall Rosenberg" before attending a practice session with us: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7TONauJGfc

There is no charge for this group; however, we ask that you register:
