The overall aim of this programme is to support you to embed NVC in your daily life, so that it can become a more fluid language and so that you feel more ease in its application. This programme will help you understand  NVC  with more depth. My greatest hope for you is that, over the months, you will start to  feel that you are living  NVC, not simply using it as a tool or a set of skills, but integrating  NVC  principles into your daily life, into your thinking, speaking and acting.

The programme is designed to offer you a chance to go from knowing (in your head) to being and living (all of you). We will work towards developing more fluency in the language of compassion, towards keeping your language natural and normal while embodying the principles of nonviolence and NVC.

IMPROVING YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH YOURSELF:

• Knowing yourself more and being authentic in your relationships, in your choices. 

• Increasing your capacity for self-compassion, to be there more for yourself, as a warm and soothing presence. 

• Having more ready access to self-empathy, and to know how to turn self-criticism around in the moment.

• Having the clarity of what values and needs drive you in each moment, and how to live according to them, with a greater sense of integrity

• Increasing your consciousness of needs in you and others.

• Emotional granularity: Improve your awareness of your emotions. Becoming more comfortable with the whole range of emotions, being more willing to feel triggered and knowing how to support yourself to come back to balance again. This tends to lead to more resilience and  to  handle a broader range of emotions.

• More clarity on what inner blocks you have that impede relating with the ease and connection you would love (beliefs, unconscious contracts, habits of thinking, etc.). 

• Being less reactive and being more able to choose your response, with awareness of your needs and others' needs.

YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH OTHERS:

• Learning to communicate with more clarity, simnplicity and effectiveness what is important to you. 

• Learning to live the core NVC  differentiations: strategy vs. need, feeling vs. thinking, observing vs. interpretting or evaluating, etc.

• Deepening you ability to be empathic towards others and to be really present while receiving the expression of another human being. Your increased ability to hold space for others in itself can greatly improve relationships.

• Creating community with others who have shared values and vision of the world.

• Setting boundaries with clarity and love.

• Finding connecting language in the moment, while staying true to yourself in your expression. 

• Speaking from the heart in a more fluid way

• Leading your conversations from compassion and clarity.

• Handling conflict and being more and more willing to engage in conflict because you have more ability to transform it without getting lost. 

In the end, continued NVC practice helps us to be more the person we want to be and to sustain and deepen the relationships we value.
