Keep your NVC fit - Empathic LIstening - End of year compassionate celebration

Register here

This month we will focus on Empathic Listening and do a short review of your learning in community over the year. Empathic Listening is the skill of holding space for someone when they are trying to process and understand something that has happened. It's the skill of reflecting back and guessing feelings and needs in supportive ways so that we accompany the person with warm, empathic resonance. It's also a helpful skill for meetings that are getting derailed or stuck.

Before you come, you can watch this short video about Reflecting back with Effectiveness and Ease

This is a monthly series to practice 3 core NVC practices

• 4 steps of Self-Empathy
• Empathic Listening
• Role Plays of Difficult Conversations

Practical and Logistics

These practice sessions aren’t refundable or transferable, except in exceptional circumstances.

This is open to people who have done a Foundation training or Intro to NVC. This is not a complete beginners class, although relative beginners (post foundation) are welcome.
Disclaimer / Self Check
Nonviolent Communication is not therapy and is not a substitute for therapy. This practice session may not be for you:

• If you have a sense that what you want to explore might be challenging for others,
• if it would be triggering to listen to others speaking about difficult events,
• if other people’s beginner-intermediate level learning of NVC might land awkwardly for you.

If you have any questions, please ask.
