About the event
Facilitated by Hally Childs
“Intensity Practice”, which I learned in the Mediate Your Life program taught by John Kinyon and Ike Lasater, is my favorite tool for bringing NVC into my everyday life. I use it to connect to needs and act from choice when overwhelmed by feelings such as anger and frustration; it can help with sadness, grief, confusion, or any disconnection from one's self.
In this workshop, my aim is for each person to connect deeply with what is going on inside of her/himself in moments of intensity - and to honor and savor the needs that s/he finds. When we can connect with our needs, we can act with amazing strength, whether we choose to support or empathize with another person, or whether we choose to express our own needs.
After the explanation and demo, we will break into pairs to practice.
Please have an NVC needs…
