Workshops, Series, and Classes

Would you like to deepen your skills for resolving conflict? Do you find it difficult to express yourself honestly without triggering defensiveness in the other person?

When communication becomes strained it can stimulate confusion and even pain for everyone involved.  If we hear what another person says as judgmental or blaming then reacting defensively may seem like the only option available in that moment. This tendency to defend or explain—so easy to do—can stimulate further disconnection and more frustration. People with the best of intentions can get stuck in patterns that are challenging to break free of.

Learn how to reach beneath these entrenched patterns to find what is alive and vital in your relationship. By acknowledging the whole person—the thinking, feeling, needs and values—you can have a compassionate understanding for others without giving up your own needs.

Compassionate or Nonviolent Communication (NVC) is a practical and learnable process for communicating with honesty, empathy and compassion. It is an effective tool that develops our capacity to transform blame, criticism and conflict into respectful communication. This quality of connection ensures that everyone’s needs are equally valued. Join the thousands of people worldwide who have improved their relationships and their lives with this simple yet transformative process.
