Participants in this workshop can learn the simple yet revolutionary process of Nonviolent Communication in order to: Express themselves honestly and whole-heartedly whilst demonstrating a compassionate respect for others Hear what’s important to others without hearing criticism or blame Focus attention where it can increase understanding, strengthen connections and resolve even long term issues Make lasting peace regardless of the intensity of previous conflicts Create more satisfying relationships at home, at work and in the community Participants wishing to join this workshop will be invited and are not obliged to make a financial contribution towards SCPNVC’s running costs.
