Making NVC Your Own

Learning NVC - Nonviolent (Compassionate) Communication – has many levels. Even when we know the ‘basic’ skill set and practices in this dynamic and universal process, along comes a situation or a person who says or does something and we’re back in our old habits of reactivity! This can show up as inward (unnoticed by others) or outward reactions.

This workshop will bring applications for grounding ourselves in challenging situations, and shifting our habitual response to pressure, as well as specific exercises that fit the needs and circumstances of the participants.

NVC Santa Cruz trainer, Jean Morrison is excited to team with Barry Smith. With his black belt expertise in Aikido, and his years of training and success bringing NVC to business leaders and their teams, we’re excited to include his collection of exercises he’s honed over the years.

We’ll move through the day to support a pragmatic and authentic NVC practice of Verbal Aikido!
