BayNVC - Bay Area Nonviolent Communication
Palo Alto Practice Group with Ursula Duncan - beginners welcome
|
| (every Week, Tue) |
| 7:00pm-9:00pm |
(Please read all of this before you come the first time.) I welcome all skill levels. Usually about 3-7 folks attend so there's plenty of time for getting empathy and personalized coaching. Those who are more versed at NVC get pointers on a higher level of colloquial, more natural sounding NVC, while those who are newer get more structured tips. I give more coaching than most trainers to support learning a clear distinction between what is NVC and what isn't (no analysis and diagnosis). We use vocabulary sheets to expand consciousness on subtle differences between a variety of feelings and needs. Beginners and intermediate students also learn from me and other more advanced students modelling NVC.
I like to foster community connection by having 3-5 minute check-ins for each person. After check-ins we use someone's real life issue to practice giving and receiving empathy. We also do role-plays to practice expressing in NVC. After we work together as a group, we pair off into one-on-one empathy sessions. There's usually a lot of laughter, sometimes tears. Most feel very safe and cared for. We end with short check-outs and a closing circle.
$65-$25 sliding scale. I ask that those who are financially more well off pay at the high end of the scale so that I can make this work available to those who are less so (and still take care of myself while doing this work). Having said that, I don't want anyone not to come because of money issues. I have a great need to contribute to the world through NVC and welcome everyone.
I invite you to drop in and see what you think! :-) I've been studying NVC for 15 years and using it professionally as a counselor/coach, mediator and trainer for 13. Please go to www.NVCpenisula.org and click BIO for my bio. On the homepage you can also click TESTIMONIALS for testimonials. On the homepage you can also click WORKSHOPS to see about my upcoming workshops.
Before you come the first time, I'd like to give you a free 30 minute overview of practical tips so that you can roll up your sleeves and dive right in, even your first time. This can be in person at 6:20pm before the group or on the phone sometime. |
