A Free NVC Introduction: Making Requests

Our final FREE Workshop for 2020
is December 5!
Registration is Open Now!

Each quarter of the year, NVCNashville offers a free workshop supporting our mission to learn, practice, and share NVC.
The last one for 2020 will be on Saturday, December 5, 1:00 – 3:00 p.m.

The topic for the Intro is Making Requests! When learning and practicing NVC, a common response is “Requests are the hardest part of learning NVC!” However, once this skill is learned, practiced, and integrated requests most often become the simplest skill in NVC!

There are many reasons we don’t make requests such as the fear of hearing a no and ever-present conditioning that our requests don’t matter! Someone recently shared that making requests for themselves was considered selfish in their family of origin. How about you? Do you fear rejection when you consider asking for what you want? You’re not alone!

There’s a lot to unpack about making requests and you can begin this journey on December 5. The ongoing exploration will continue in 2021 in an upcoming series of classes offered by our local Certified Trainer from The Center For Nonviolent Communication, Carlene Maginnis. If you’ve a request to make about learning how to make requests, this may be the place to check it out!

Your requests frame how you take control of your life in a way that is authentic to your true nature. End the year and begin the new one learning how requests can make all the difference in creating the life you most value for yourself and others.

What: A Free NVC Introduction: Making Requests 
When: December 5, 2020 
Time:  1:00-3:00 p.m. (break included!)
Facilitator: Carlene Maginnis
Fee: FREE!!

Grief & Gratitude

 

September 27 – 29, 2019

We live our human lives in a constant state of celebration and mourning for that which we love. And yet many of us have been taught to stay away from the grief and the mourning around our losses. We often believe that we are supposed to grieve alone, rather than burdening others with our sadness. In contrast to this belief, in neurobiological reality, our grief is richest when we are able to grieve together. Many of us know the sustaining and healing powers of practicing gratitude. This too, supports the healing cycle of grief and mourning. NVC offers an added richness to the practices of gratitude that we already know and use, as well as lending it’s frame to develop a few more. Whether you’ve done a lot of NVC gratitude or this is new to you, you are welcome.

LIGHTEN YOUR LOAD OF ANGER, EMOTIONAL HURT AND PAIN.

Almost all of us travel with “baggage” – anger, emotional hurt and pain from the past. It is a normal part of being human. The 3-day Reconciliation and Healing learning community intensive integrates Nonviolent Communication (NVC), mindfulness, a mediation framework, and neuroscience to help you heal emotional hurt within yourself, create reconciliation between yourself and another, and help others do this.

PLAN TO BE HAPPY.

What is the source of your anguish and hurt? Maybe you feel a longtime resentment against another person, living or deceased. Or maybe someone else perceives you as the cause of their pain. In either case, relief is within reach.

TUITION

Philosophy of Money
The pricing below is what I (John) would like to receive to support this work and my sustainability. However, because I see this work being for the greater good of humanity and all people and communities, and because I want to support a monetary system based in giving and receiving from the meaning and enjoyment of contributing to one another’s well being, you are free to give what feels right to you. My request is that you stretch yourself to give as much as you’re willing and able to give. Not only will this support me and this work, I believe it will support you to receive the most benefit and value from doing the work. If you would like to give an amount different from what is listed below, email: connect@mediateyourlife.com, or call (415) 710-2777. Thank you for wanting to be part of this work in the world!
