Authentically Us - A Weekend of NVC Workshops With The RMCCN Community - Spring 2023

"La verdadera felicidad y el verdadero poder residen en comprenderte a ti mismo, en aceptarte a ti mismo, en tener confianza en ti mismo". - Thich Nhat Hanh

A través de la expresión del arte y el movimiento, podremos experimentar el lugar de libertad interna desde donde observarnos con perspectiva la capacidad de elegir nuestro estado de conciencia. Y desde ahí, conectarnos con nuestro poder para así ser conscientes de cuando usamos el "poder con" o el “poder sobre” en nuestras relaciones empezando por la relación con nosotr@s mism@s.

Description:

Authenticity can be daunting. How can we foster courage and openness to show up as our true selves? How can we voice the unvoiced with authenticity and compassion?

Join us as we delve into these questions in our supportive workshop, providing insights to embrace fears and express yourself more openly.

Daring to be authentically 'You' creates space for an authentic 'We'. Embark on this journey of self-discovery and dare to be you!

Description:

Come learn about self-resonance - connecting with ourselves openly, mourning for what we regret, and seeing the beautiful needs we were trying to meet. We will practice steps we can take before we offer to repair a relationship and then the steps of repairing a relationship with authenticity and vulnerability.

Description:

Requests are where the rubber meets the road in NVC. They requite vulnerability, trust, and openness to outcome. We may hear a yes, we may hear a no. We may be called on to provides a yes or no ourselves. Seeing the worth in ourselves and in others is essential to supporting the vulnerability that requests require.

Requests populate the path to freedom. Freedom is one of the most fundamental human yearnings. In order to be free we must interact without coercion, associate freely. Yet to be effective in our world we must also get things done, attend to the necessities of life. What draws forth our willing participation? What inspires us to put forth effort? These are questions that must be addressed if we are to associate freely without coercion.

Respect is an expression of value, of understanding. It inspires our contribution. We demonstrate our respect by being responsible. Responsibility places us at the epicenter of our own experience where we can choose how we process and express, where we can respond with consciousness and deliberation.

When we are inspired by respect and act responsibly, we enhance self esteem. We gain the confidence, the security, the courage to be in integrity and honor boundaries. This is the foundation that enables us to live in a world of requests, cooperation, and freedom.

When we learn to put our attention on what is precious, both within ourselves and others, we are inspired to act responsibly, with consciousness and deliberation. We summon the courage and determination to honor our own boundaries and be attentive to the boundaries of others. We learn to live in integrity, cooperation, and freedom in the midst all of the yeses and nos.

Parenting can be a beautifully messy journey filled with ups and downs, and this workshop aims to provide insights and strategies to help embrace the messiness with confidence and authenticity.

We will delve into what it means to be an authentic parent, cultivating emotional resilience, and explore how authentic communication when boundary-setting can transform the parent-child connection.

Do you hear yourself saying: I am stupid! I I never get it right! I am too much!

Are you suffering from harsh inner critic voices ruminating in your brain over time?

What if we say, “Of course! You have a very good reason to blame yourself ”? When We accompany the inner voice with warm curiosity, our nervous system calmed. Then we can find the underneath beautiful needs and meet our true self.

Join this workshop to find the truth by transforming our self-blame into mourning

This workshop consists of lectures, discussion and group breakouts.

Description:

Marshall Rosenberg's vision was to create a world where everyone's needs matter and are met through compassionate giving and receiving. Martin Luther King spoke of the beloved community --- a global vision of humans cooperating together in sharing the earth's abundance so that all people thrive. Gandhi said we must be vigilant to the needs of the community and begin to lay the foundation for a more equitable society where everyone may have access to opportunities. The visions of Rosenberg, King and Gandhi inspire us and resonate with our own dreams, yet we as individuals will often settle (in our thoughts, in our communications and in our actions) for a world that falls short of our ideals. Through the lens of NVC (feelings, needs and requests), in this workshop, through self-exploration, paired sharing, and large-group discussion, we will explore, clarify and define our personal visions for the world in which we wish to live; what stops us as individuals from standing firmly and effectively for our vision; and what we can put in place to support bringing about a world of compassionate giving and receiving, equal access to opportunities for all, and beloved community.
