[IN PERSON] Practice to Speak and Receive from the Heart - Afternoon

This session is facilitated by Senovio and the theme is (re-)Discovering NVC.

This is the first of a series of 12 practice sessions intended to track topics that an introductory workshop in NVC would cover during at least 2 days. It will roughly follow the structure of the book Nonviolent Communication - a Language of Life - by Marshall Rosenberg.

This first session is related to Chapter 1 : Giving from the Heart. Participants are welcome to read that chapter before the session to support their learning and practice.

We will meet once a month, usually the last Sunday. As this is our first session, please come and see if the way of learning together fits you. To enhance safety and comfort in the practice space over the longer term, we would be glad to maintain participation for the whole series. If you are interested and can’t make it, I would be glad to hear from you. I imagine that future sessions will remain open to new participants.

Practical information:
If you are brand-new to NVC, you may enjoy watching an introduction so you can come with questions and the first ideas about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7TONauJGfc

At 12:45 we will be there to welcome participants and answer questions for newcomers before the actual practice session starts at 13:00.

This session is offered on a gift economy basis: give only what is joyful and within your capacity. No one would be turned away. We greatly appreciate any contribution as it helps cover expenses of the Meetup, website and NVC Geneva. You may find details here: [http://NVCGeneva.ch/giving](http://nvcgeneva.ch/giving)
