Level 2: Understanding Power & NVC (in person)

Register HERE

NVC has the potential to support challenging conversations around power differences and imbalances, here's how!

This is the overview for the day

• Creating a container for doing this work with a group of people coming together for this purpose
• Creating shared reality around understanding why understanding power is important
• increase somatic self-empathy
• explore your own identity in relation to power and privilege in a supportive, safer environment
• stay with difficult conversations
• do roleplays to become more resilient in situations where an aspect of power is playing out
• Body centred, Self-Empathy for exploring situations in which power and privilege play out
• Practice giving and receiving feedback in different power dynamics
• Explore the Pathways of Liberation Matrix

All this with a compassionate lens!
The session will involve reflection, discussion, practice and role play.

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.
