ONE DAY WORKSHOP IN HAWKES BAY
When the world in me collides with the world in you, how do we even relate?
Connecting communication is an art form of the whole being; body, mind, heart & spirit.
We’ve all experienced how challenging it can be, when differences arise between us humans, to articulate and listen from a clear and grounded place!
Every human experience you have - emotions, challenges, behaviour patterns, painful thoughts, judgements & stories - is opportunity to reorient to your truth and fill you with renewed vitality… if you know the path.
What if someone else’s anger, hurt or disappointment didn’t have to drain you? What if, by learning to listen beneath their words and emotions, you could actually feel more alive, connected and nourished?
There is a way to meet another person’s inner world with curiosity and openness - and discover that what first felt difficult or dissonant can become a source of connection to life.
This is a profound and empowering experience!
It is the point where life energy meets life energy and understanding, connection and even co-creation, awakens within the dynamic.
ReSourced Relating is a way of connecting with self and other, that encourages truth, cultivates compassion and leads to precious experiences of heart to heart understanding.
In this one-day experiential workshop you will learn and begin to integrate a simple yet intelligent system of the body, heart, mind & spirit which can be applied to enhance communication & connection, in any type of relationship. It is a somatic and energy-based approach to Marshall Rosenberg's Nonviolent Communication (NVC).
Where: Havelock North
When: Saturday 22nd August 10am-4.30pm
No experience in NVC necessary.
Part One: Me
Connection always starts within. Let every action you make, thought you have & emotion you feel, lead you to your truth. To understanding, compassion & love for self. Authentic expression arises from here.
Part Two: You
Learn a very precise system of empathy. Empathy is how we understand & find compassion for the other. Watch your relationships transform as you develop or deepen this skill.
Part Three: Us
Now we dance! Authentic expression & empathy are the steps, life energy our music. Practice conversations using these skills, so they land in your body and you have access to them in the big wide world.
Your Facilitator: Jessica White
Jessica became passionate about sharing Nonviolent Communication with parents, couples, individuals, and more recently with business owners, soon after it entered her world 8 years ago.
Practicing nonviolence has had a profound impact on every area of her life, including motherhood, every relationship dynamic and the way she meets life itself, and she knew it was part of her soul path to share it forward.
She found that while the concepts of NVC were relatively easy to grasp, embodying them in daily life was another story.
She became devoted to finding a way to deliver the practice in a more efficient way - people needed the skills now! - and found that the key was the body.
Her earlier experience in both massage therapy & yoga teaching, brought her an innerstanding of bringing mind and body into coherence, and found that those learning NVC through this lens, seemed to integrate the skills and bring them into their relationships, in a more natural way, and at a satisfying rate!
She is the founder and co-leader of Empathy Angels, a team of people trained in NVC who provide free 1:1 empathy sessions to the NZ public.
