Nonviolent Systems Workshop

20th to 22nd June with Ida & Volkmar
(sign-up form below)

About the workshop:
​
Practical exercises in a safe environment. In a small group, you will learn to understand and constructively shape difficult relationship situations - for more fulfilment and joy of living in togetherness.

Four key functions for thriving relationships:
1. What to do when things get uncomfortable or painful?
‘Shadow Engagement’: Understanding arises and development becomes possible through awareness and compassion.
2. What if something bothers me or makes me happy?
‘Feedback flow’: When honest and compassionate feedback flows in a relaxed way, it enables nourishing togetherness.
3. How do we make decisions?
‘Decision-making’: If everyone's needs are considered in togetherness, solutions are found that work for everyone.
4. What do we do with conflicts?
‘Conflict Engagement’: How do we find our way back from conflict to cooperation?
​
In these four "functions of togetherness ", we can easily disregard needs. Nonviolent Communication ( NVC ), with its unique needs-orientation, helps us to consider all needs – our own as well as those of others. In this way, we can live in resonance and in togetherness.
