NVC for Intimate Relationships

In this workshop you will learn how NVC can enhance communication in your relationships and increase intimacy. With deeper intimacy can come new reactivity – we’ll share some tools to recognize reactive patterns and use vulnerability to grow closer.

This workshop is designed to provide skills regardless of experience level. If new to NVC we recommend reading or listening to the book “Nonviolent Communication” by Marshall Rosenburg prior to attending. Those new to Rose City NVC, as well as folks who have attended the full weekend training, are invited to join us in practicing together; to refresh, sharpen skills, as well as get a few new tools.

In this introductory workshop we will:

• Learn how to listen to our partners in a way that meets their need to be heard for what’s important.
• Learn to make requests of each other and be able to trust that you will be at choice without threat of loss of love.
• Discover how to make repairs even when it seems the most impossible.
• Delve into appreciation, joy and gratitude – using NVC to increase intimacy and excitement.

Prerequisites: None. This is an all levels workshop. However we recommend participants have read book, taken Rose City NVC’s Foundation Course, or have had some prior NVC exposure.
