A one-day experiential training for navigating difference, tension and power with greater awareness, choice and self-connection.

NVC offers powerful practices for staying connected to ourselves and others when conversations become difficult. But what happens when the people in a conversation do not have equal power? When hierarchy, identity, privilege, exclusion, institutional authority or access to resources shape what can be said, heard or decided?

Power affects communication — and communication can also reproduce or transform power.

This training brings NVC into conversation with different ways of understanding power. We will explore what happens when we bring awareness of power dynamics into our practice, and how we can remain grounded, responsive and connected without losing sight of the wider conditions in which a conversation is taking place.

The day is highly experiential. Alongside strengthening NVC foundations, we will experiment with tools for noticing power, understanding our own position within it, and expanding our choices when navigating challenging conversations.

Here is a testimonial from a participant
I’ve done other workshops addressing equality, diversity, inclusion, racism and privilege, but what made this one stand out – and, I think, made it effective – was regularly returning to our somatic and emotional responses and seeing these as important sources of information. I have sometimes felt frozen and afraid of ‘getting it wrong’ when approaching privilege from a cerebral place and the focus on my body helped me to begin to understand a different way of doing this work. (November 2023)

We recommend participants learn about Nonviolent Communication here.

### 1. Key Benefits of Improving Listening Skills

✅ Better Relationships – Strengthens personal and professional relationships through understanding.
✅ Conflict Resolution – Turns arguments into conversations where both sides feel heard.
✅ Emotional Clarity – Helps you express your feelings and needs without blame.
✅ Empathy & Connection – Encourages deep listening and compassion.
✅ Self-Awareness – Helps you understand your own triggers and needs.
By improving listening to ourselves and to others, we shift from reacting to responding with awareness, creating more meaningful and peaceful interactions.

Self responsibility

This is a reminder that everyone is responsible for themselves and we encourage you to take care of your own emotional safety.
Bear in mind your listening partners aren’t trainers or therapists.
