Vincent, Branka, Katharina and Nada in Katharina's kitchen in Germany
HEALING OURSELVES AND CONTRIBUTING TO THE HEALING OF OTHERS
The 5-day workshop will provide opportunities for experimential learning of
M.B. Rosenberg’s model of nonviolent communication (NVC), a set of simple, effective, do-able steps in giving and receiving messages that can contribute to each persons well-being and growth, and facilitate understanding and connectedness.
The participants will be invited and encouraged to explore how to apply NVC skills in the challenging situations in their own lives to heal their relationships.
Learning will be enriched through playful activities, movements, and drawings, sharing the stories and poems...
I would suggest having up to 20 people in the group in order to give equal opportunity to everyone to practice.
There will be four 90 minutes session each day, with 3 breakes.
The tentative topics (to be changed in tune with the needs and requests of the participants)
