Often the way that we communicate can result in hurt or harm, sometimes we can talk to people in a way that creates distance and discord. Yet we all strive for connection, and to be understood.
Nonviolent communication helps us to find ways of communicating that contributes to forming connections. It helps us to live compassionately, collaborating with others in an authentic way. This can help our relationships become more satisfying, and increases our empathic connection with others and also with ourselves.
Join us for a Study Group to explore nonviolent communication thoroughly. We will take our time to read a book, and work towards putting the skills into practice.
We will be reading "Nonviolent Communication"by Marshall B. Rosenberg. We are really going to take our time with this, meeting monthly to discuss agreed sections of the book. In between meetings we will communicate via a WhatsApp group, where there will be tasks and questions set to reflect and put into action the skills that we're reading about.
The Study Group will meet once a month for 6 sessions, on the first Tuesday of every month. Our first session will be on Tuesday 6th February 7-8pm, running until 3rd July.
This group can be attended either online via zoom, or in person - please click on which suits your best. There's no difference in price, it's just helpful for me to know where people will be for the set up of the room!
The study group costs £75 to join, we also have concessionary rates and a couple of reduced rates for anyone who otherwise could not afford to come along. Please pick the rate that best matches your circumstances. Click here to book in.
