Speaking Peace: Foundation Training Part 2

A significant part of this training will be to identify, express, and create our deepest dreams which are hidden within our jackals and feelings - and to hear these in others - even through hard to hear messages.

If you have been practicing NVC since we last met, then my intention is for this 2 days to consolidate that practice and take you to a new depth of integration... in other words, to fast track this awareness and practice in your day to day living.

If you have not been practicing NVC since our last meeting, no worries, I know you will easily remember this work and the difference it can make in your life, and that you will again be inspired to enrich your life with it.

Topics:

  • Practice and integration of NVC model - translating your jackals into needs, hearing another with empathy, expressing yourself with giraffe honestly
  • Identify, express, and create your deepest dreams which are hidden within your jackals and feelings
  • Hear and give voice to these dreams in others, even during hard to hear messages
  • Recognise the surprising gift of Anger, and transform it!
  • Hear and say "No" with ease
  • Recharge your batteries... The importance of Celebrating and Mourning
  • What to do when our needs seem to Conflict?

This training is based on the skills taught at the NVC Foundation Training Part 1.  I ask that you have already attended a Foundation Training prior to this training as we will be working with these skills (you do not have to be fluent).

6 month Peer Leadership Programme

This programme is specifically designed for people who have completed foundation NVC training and want to both deepen their fluency and introduce NVC with others.  We work with participants' real life situations and stimulations and focus on both the theory and practice of implementing NVC as fully as possible. 

Aims of the Programme:

  • To develop the skills and awareness of the next generation of NVC leaders to exceptional levels
     
  • To integrate the intentions and practice of NVC into the daily life of participants
     
  • To enhance skills of participants to teach NVC, offer counseling sessions, or offer coaching sessions
     
  • To work together to support this group of leaders to create the change we want to see in the world
     
  • To work together to develop financially sustainable infrastructures to support the delivery of NVC.

Requests of Participants and Trainer prior to joining Programme:

  • To have an intention to support each other in our learning NVC and embodying self connection, honesty and empathy, both during and outside sessions.
     
  • To complete the 6 month programme together.
     
  • To commit to attend every scheduled training and coaching session except under extreme situations (this is part of holding the importance of intention and commitment.)
     
  • To implement agreed homework exercises between coaching sessions and update progress of these in an email 24 hours prior to one on one coaching (does not have to be an essay, 2 sentences can suffice)
     
  • To support the programme to develop the next generation of NVC leaders, I ask that you check that you want to share NVC with others in some way. It may not be evident yet how or when you want to share NVC.
     
  • As the basics of NVC are assumed I request that a minimum of 4 days NVC training with a certified trainer be completed either prior to programme commencement or within 4 weeks of it commencing. Please discuss any concerns/queries about this with Shari.
