Lessons from the Elders: Zen and the Art of Nonviolent Communication

Lessons from the Elders:
Zen and the Art of Nonviolent Communication
a ZENVC weekend retreat with Catherine Cadden and Jesse Wiens

Brisbane, Australia
Saturday/ Sunday, October 11th and 12th
9:30 am - 5:00 pm

The wisdom which Nonviolent Communication (NVC) is based on is as old as humanity itself. This weekend retreat draws insights from NVC’s elder siblings of Taoism, Buddhism, and North American Indigenous culture to awaken clarity and power in our practice of Nonviolent Communication, including topics such as:

Why Intention is the Fundamental Principle of NVC, and How to Cultivate its Power
The Other NVC: Non-Verbal Communication
How to End the Illusion of ‘My Needs’ and ‘Your Needs’
How to Walk in the Dark, when NVC forms aren’t Creating Connection

Utilizing art, movement, discussion, meditation, and games, we will explore together this rich texture of what it is to be human.

Wear comfortable clothes you can move in. Bring a journal, colored pens or pencils to write/draw, and a sacred personal object to give away (something of value to you that can fit in your hand).
