Practice, Practice, Practice:

Walking The Talk
 
Marshall Rosenberg said, "The only way to learn NVC is to practice, practice, practice.”

Weaving compassion into the everyday fabric of our lives requires building compassionate habits. Habits that evoke empathy and honor autonomy, habits that connect our heads and hearts, that embolden us to pursue our dreams and to express ourselves freely.

Habits are built through repetition and practice. Once instilled, they become automatic and enable us to respond effectively, even in crisis moments. We all have different learning modalities, preferences, and schedules, thus practice can assume many forms. At RMCCN, we are committed to supporting a diversity that meets a wide range of individual needs. Here are some of the resources available to help you cultivate a compassionate existence.

 
Attend a workshop
RMCCN offers a wide variety of workshops for individuals, organizations, businesses and schools. Check out the Community Calendar for news of upcoming workshops.

 
Join or start a practice group
We support ongoing practice groups in Colorado and the Rocky Mountain region. Some practice groups have individual facilitators, others are group facilitated, with people taking turns leading discussion and activities. Periodically, we also do practice group “matchmaking” to help people find or initiate practice groups. For more information, visit our practice group page.

RMCCN also offers a Facilitators' Practice Group designed to support people who wish to share NVC with others by facilitating practice groups, leading NVC workshops, or taking NVC into their organizations. Learn more »
