Essentie van Verbindende Communicatie: Summerdays in Zweden

With Marianne Gothlin, Towe Widstrand en Corrylaura Van Bladel

This event was initiated from several requests from our contacts, asking for a training in Sweden. We are enthusiastic to have found the timing and place to make this happen.

We wish for some meaningful days of diving into NVC in lightness and depth. This event will take place in Mundekulla, in southeast Sweden.  

We invite you to practice NVC and to enjoy these days tailored to our group and participants' needs.

Maybe you know NVC well and yet find it difficult to apply with people close to you, with authorities, when there is tension, conflict or just quietness? Maybe you have experienced that more words do not mean more connection?

This is an opportunity for you who want to sharpen your skills to contribute to understanding and mutual conversations.

We welcome both you who are fairly new to NVC and you who are looking for in-depth training. As we are three trainers we can adapt to different needs and levels of learning and we all learn from each other. These days count if you are in the CNVC certification process.

We would like to offer a variety of opportunities to learn about and practice the essence of NVC and its applications. Take our time to tune in to core needs and how to make them alive in our relationships.

Some of what we envision to dive into:

• self-care;
• expressing honesty;
• listening skills;
• to practice using these three as possibilities for connection.

This can mean practicing:

• to go beyond self-criticism and identify core needs;
• mourning mistakes - and celebrate when things are going your way;
• developing inner self-care in language;
• transforming anger and enemy images;
• finding motivation and strength to be honest;
• listening with empathy - giving space to be in the moment;
• handle your own reactivity when listening;
• develop your personal NVC vocabulary, your street giraffe;
• listening when there are complaints, resistance, or silence.

As a unique quality input, we have invited Fader Chris Rajendram from Sri Lanka to be with us these days. He will offer some meditations and be available for some private sessions. Chris will decide about his participation depending on health reasons close to the event.
