|  NONVIOLENT
COMMUNICATION:
PRACTICAL TOOLS FOR LIVING
COMPASSIONATELY
Miki Kashtan
This two-day workshop introduces the principles of Nonviolent
Communication (NVC), and provides skills that can be applied
in personal or professional situations that require compassionate,
yet effective, communication. The principles of NVC help to
create a quality of connection that supports resolving conflicts
and sharing resources compassionately.
Miki Kashtan introduces tools to put the vision of compassion
and nonviolence into concrete practice. In order to gain practice
and experience using NVC in real-life situations, participants
will do role plays, using situations from their personal and
professional lives, as well as written exercises, small- and
large-group interactions, play, and individual reflection.
Specifically, in this workshop you will learn:
• To understand your inner experience and to express
it without blame, criticism, or demands;
• To disengage from judgment and evaluation of others
through the use of empathic listening
and observation;
• To make clear requests and stay in dialogue even when
the response is "no."
