This series is open to all, with emphasis for accessibility and inclusion for those experiencing being underserved or under-represented or financial barriers.
All lived experiences are valued here, including experiences of NVC being used in ways that have been harmful.
We study NVC to improve our communication skills and enhance our relationships with ourselves, family, and friends. The next step is to use these skills to cultivate caring community. Being in the presence of others who share our commitment to NVC fortifies and nurtures us. The challenges humanity faces today cry out for community action. When we are divided and scattered, we flounder. When we practice creating a culture of care and evoking shared vision, we flourish.
The transforming impact of NVC lies not only in discovering how to cultivate deep meaningful relationships, but in extending those relationships into that caring community where we thrive. NVC offers a powerful solution for building a peace movement, not by criticism and convincing, but by invitation and connecting; by becoming curious about what matters to others as well as ourselves. Naturally, a community of care emerges. Nourished by diversity, rooted in universality, care and consideration spread, permeating our neighborhoods, our social institutions, our culture, our natural environment. Thus we change the world.
Join us for our Living NVC: Creating A Culture Of Care. Experience first hand the joy and support community brings as you deepen skills to cultivate care in your everyday life.
Overview: Community Based NVC: Creating a Culture of Care
Community Based NVC offers both Zoom Zoom based and in-person programs.
Series Description:
Martin Luther King Jr. spoke of Beloved Community where the dignity of everyone was recognized. King did not vilify. He pointed out injustice and let the conditions speak for themselves. This visibility precipitated change and inspired actions. Communities came together guided by common visions and shared aspirations, and transformed society.
How do we see past our own implicit biases and predigests, recognize the dignity, and embody that welcoming Beloved Community? Answering this question is at the heart of the Creating A Culture Of Care program, Using NVC insights, techniques, and prejudices we explore how to support such a Culture Of Care where everyone’s needs are honored and people are empowered with skills to cultivate peace.
We use a NVC needs model with six layers of need related to:
1. Me: personality, lived experiences, self.
2. We: social, cultural, and personal identities.
3. Us: personal, you and I.
4. Mezzo: the space between individuals and large systems.
5. Macro: institutions, legislation, and large-scale systems.
6. Gaia: planetary health and well being, ecology.
"If I use nonviolent communication to liberate people to be less depressed, to get along better with their family, but do not teach them at the same time to use their energy to rapidly transform systems in the world, then I am part of the problem.”
~ Marshall Rosenberg
