Bethesda NVC - Topic: Requests

Making Requests

They are said in clear, positive, concrete action, and they avoid telling someone to refrain from doing something.

They're specific enough to be doable in the present.

They are not demanding: the other person can say “no” without fear of retribution. Could there be a compromise after?

We move to step four of Marshall Rosenberg’s non-violent communication (NVC): making requests of others in order to get our unfulfilled needs met.

Nonviolent Communication (NVC) and often called “compassionate communication” — helps you create the high quality of connection out of which people naturally enjoy contributing to one another’s well-being.

We welcome everyone who are interested about Nonviolent Communications, regardless of level of knowledge in NVC. The focus of the group will be on learning/reviewing the basic concepts and understanding of the language.

Each meeting there will be an opportunity for receiving and providing empathy after the basic fundamentals of NVC are reviewed. The topic for this event will be how to make observations without judging or analyzing.

This event is free and food will be provided.

After each workshop you will gain a better understanding of:
• Emotional intelligence
• Empathic communications
• Communicating in general
