Level 1 NVC Training Programme

Discovery Sessions

Foundational Course

5 weeks, 2 hour workshop/weekly 

TOPICS

Intention - When guided by unconscious intentions, people generally tend to move from one situation they don’t want to another and their life becomes one of avoidance.


Attention - Mindfulness is the practice of purposely focusing attention on the present moment—and accepting it without judgment.


Observation - Evaluations, criticism, labeling or judging, when thought or expressed, contribute to confusion and disconnection.


Feelings - Feelings carry important messages. The more we can align our feelings with a positive understanding of what they can do for us, the more we trust them to identify our needs.


Needs - Need are considered the core of nonviolent communication (NVC) model.
