Authentically Us Explorations: Beyond OFNR: Three Components Support That Empathetic Resonance And Living NVC

 
“It is not what you look at, it’s what you see.”
– Henry David Thoreau

Authentically Us Explorations:

For the past six years, RMCCN has been building community and an international presence through our annual Authentically Us training weekend. We envision strengthening that community and our collective capacity to embody nonviolent communication by providing more consistent opportunities for learning and community support.

Each month one of us will share an inquiry that is actively shaping our lives, inviting our growing community of participants, facilitators, and supporters into the exploration. All are welcome to attend. Attendance is free. Donations are gratefully accepted.

 
This Month:

Beyond OFNR: Three Components Support That Empathetic Resonance And Living NVC

"Empathy is not a commodity that we give someone. It is a state of being that we share, where there is mutual resonance."
- David Steele

OFNR, Observations, Feelings, Needs, and Requests are at the heart of much NVC training. OFNR is a strategy to cultivate empathetic rapport, both with ourselves and others.

There are three components to cultivating empathetic rapport that breathe life into the OFNR formula and and guide us into an all encompassing state of being that goes beyond words alone:

1. Presence And Consciousness
2. Body And Grounding Skil
3. ls And Techniques

Come explore how we can, as Mahatma Gandhi put it, "become the change we seek in the world."

This is a space to question, notice, learn, and explore together. Bring your curiosity.

Prerequisite
This workshop assumes a working understanding of the NVC Observations, Feelings, Needs, Requests framework.
