Introductions

This workshop will be an introduction to Nonviolent Communication (NVC) a simple yet powerful "language of compassion" developed by Marshall B. Rosenberg Ph.D and currently practiced in over 65 countries worldwide.

• NVC supports you to:
• Express yourself fully without triggering hostility or withdrawal
• Hear others compassionately
• Transform potential conflicts into peaceful dialogues
• Make clear requests instead of vague demands
• Give clear and supportive feedback
• Develop self-awareness and self-compassion
• Turn your "inner critic" into a source of positive support

Through its emphasis on deep listening - to ourselves and to others - NVC fosters respect, attentiveness and empathy, and engenders a mutual desire to give from the heart. As we learn NVC we take more responsibility for our experience and exercise more fully the power we have to create the kind of world we wish to live in.

Leo Sofer has been learning and teaching NVC since 1999. He lives in Findhorn, is married and has two small children.
