Non-Violent Communication Workshop

We are happy to present an upcoming workshop in Nonviolent Communication (NVC) and we invite you to join!

INTIMATE RELATIONSHIPS

With CNVC-certified trainer Yoram Mosenzon

Weekend of October 14 – 15, in Amsterdam

NVC is the art of communication. It offers simple, practical tools that radically transform your relationship with yourself and others. It cultivates assertive honesty mixed with deep empathy, allowing us to transform conflicts into love and clarity.

We will focus on themes such as:

• How to be fully honest but not judgmental
• How to stand for what you want, without demanding or pressuring
• How to say ‘no’ without hurting others – and how to hear ‘no’ without getting hurt
• How to enjoy (!) anger, hurt, and frustrations
• How to transform guilt, shame, and obligations into a flow of a creativity
• How to find balance between freedom and commitment
• How to connect with each others’ hearts, even in situations of conflict

Group:
In an interactive and safe learning environment we will focus on examples from our own life. We will practice NVC through demonstrations, role-plays, and exercises to integrate these tools into our daily situations.

Assistants:
Some assistants will be present to accompany us during the course, in order to give extra personal attention. These are well-trained people who have followed many NVC Courses and are becoming trainers themselves.

About Yoram Mosenzon, CNVC certified trainer, Coach, and a Mediator:

Yoram was a dancer/choreographer when he came across NVC in 2003. He eventually phased out his artistic endeavours in order to fully dedicate his time and energy to sharing NVC. Yoram now leads workshops in schools, universities, businesses, and with individual groups throughout Europe, Israel/Palestine, and the United States.

Marshall B. Rosenberg, founder of NVC

“Here is the deepest secret nobody knows. Here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud. And the sky of the sky of a tree called life; Which grows higher than soul can hope or mind can hide. And this is the wonder that’s keeping the stars apart.
I carry your heart. I carry it in my heart.”
