Kathy Simon 2012
More Joy, Less Strife: An NVC Workshop for Couples
With Kathy Simon, Ph.D.
Sunday, October 7, 9:30am-4:30pm, Oakland, BayNVC office

 

Our intimate relationships are so important to us, and yet sometimes we struggle to connect with our partners, struggle to understand them, struggle to express ourselves both authentically and lovingly.  In this workshop, you will explore how to use both big and small challenges in your relationship as opportunities to grow both individually and as a couple.  We'll work on sharing truth honestly -- without blame; opening yourself to vulnerability, without losing power, and choosing compassion -- both for yourself and for your partner.

 

This workshop is open to couples with NVC experience or new to NVC.  For more information, click here, or contact [email protected].

Year-long Programs   

Courageous Self Awareness and Self Expression Program-A Compassionate Communication Program for Social Justice Advocates   

A year-long monthly program with Nancy Kahn 

In this Connection Across Differences Program in Nonviolent Communication (NVC), we  address the challenges that block our capacity to meet our own needs for self acceptance, self love, authenticity with self, self compassion, and the capacity for empathy for others as we carry out the work we care about in our social justice organizations and movements, and/or live with daily experiences that leave us longing for social justice in the world.

the third Sunday of the month, and one teleclass session on
