Introduction to Non-Violent Communication (NVC)

Saturday, March 5, 2011, 9am - 4pm

The Peace Center
102 W. Maple Ave, Langhorne, Pa.

Facilitator: Keith Pacheco

fee:  $75

Do you ever have conflicts? At home? With your spouse? With your children? How about with your neighbors? Your work associates? Ever attend a church or synagogue that has had a conflict? Did you ever have a conversation about your political or religious beliefs that caused anger, resentment, or shut-down?

If you would like to learn a new way to communicate that will help you resolve your conflicts more peacefully, come to this Workshop and learn the basics of Nonviolent Communication! Nonviolent Communication (NVC) is a method of communication that helps us to participate in the joy of giving. The goal of NVC is to create a quality of connection so that in a conflict all parties can get their needs met. The workshop will present the basic theory of the NVC process. Interactive exercises will be included to reinforce the theory. Time will be available to receive coaching on how to resolve real conflicts in your life. Facilitator Keith Pacheco studied under Marshall Rosenburg, author of Non Violent Communication.
