Nonviolent Communication Workshops

Foundation Training with Vajrasara Rankin

Want to learn a language of honesty and kindness? Fed up with misunderstandings, tension, second-guessing, and acting out of guilt? Nonviolent Communication (NVC) is a practical process for communicating with empathy, honesty, power and compassion. It has a profound effect on all relationships – work, home, political and spiritual.

NVC is being taught worldwide and is sometimes called ‘the language of the heart’. It can help you develop your emotional intelligence, transform blame and criticism, and handle conflict with confidence. This weekend will help you improve relationships at home and at work; tackle tricky conversations with confidence; understand ourselves and others; decode unspoken messages; create harmony, and become more alive.

Recommended reading – Marshall Rosenberg’s book Nonviolent Communication – A Language of Compassion (ISBN 1 892005 02 6) before attending. Available from: www.life-resources-shop.com
