Chris Hartstein, Capital NVC Facilitator and Engagement Coach, successfully launched an Empathy Incubator earlier this week. Participants at the first session commented, “I didn’t want it to end.” and “That was awesome.” Visioned as a program for faith-based communities, it will evolve organically with ease and simplicity at it’s core. Chris says, “I’m super curious to see what will grow!”
Intensity Practice for Difficult Conversations
Offered by Hally Childs
Sun, June 26, 2022
1:00 PM – 3:00 PM EDT

“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 list handy for this work. It is also helpful to bring have in mind a triggering statement to work with -- Some examples: "You're not a good team member," "Do you always have to bring politics into it?" We will use the triggering statements in role plays in our practice.

The workshop will be on Zoom and will be limited to 12 participants.
I am hoping to make a similar short offering monthly.

Although there is no fee, donations to Capital NVC are always welcome.
