SUMMARY:NVC Fundamentals – Todd Porter
DESCRIPTION:We will be meeting on Mondays\, October 5th – November 23rd\, 7-9 pm CT. \nAn 8-week online learning community facilitated by Todd Porter\, HoustonNVC Board Member \nWhat is it? This is a highly interactive\, discussion-based exploration of Marshall Rosenberg’s book “Nonviolent Communication: a Language of Life\, 3rd Ed.” (Puddle Dancer Press\, 2015). Together\, we will form an online learning community in which we can apply what we’ve read about with real people in real conversation. Reading\, reflection\, and review homework provide participants with the opportunity to make the most of the weekly online interactions\, which will focus on practice and application. This is an excellent foundational workshop for the beginner or a sound refresher for returning practitioners. \nWho is it for? This course is for people who have occasion to communicate with people and want to be able to do so more effectively\, especially in the conversations which are most important to us. The people who will get the most out of the experience are those who read along in advance of each week’s session and come ready and willing to risk trying the things they read about in a real conversation with a real person. \nWhat is unique about this course? Rosenberg’s compassionate communication framework is a powerful tool we can use to make authentic\, heart-to-heart connections. Being heard\, understood\, and accepted is one of the most powerful gifts we can offer one another. It is also a gift that those around us desperately need. This group provides an opportunity to create peace in the world by creating peace within ourselves\, as well as between ourselves and all with whom we speak. \nFor more information or to register: click here

SUMMARY:NVC and The Religious Experience: The Alignment of Needs Consciousness and Spirituality
DESCRIPTION:The founder and author of Nonviolent Communication\, the late Marshall Rosenberg\, was deeply interested in the common thread found in the world’s great religions and wisdom traditions. Drawing from them\, Rosenberg was able to language their essential beliefs\, values\, and character traits as universal needs: the heart of Nonviolent Communication. Despite this\, the topic of religion- albeit messy- and its potentiality within the framework and paradigm of NVC remains largely unexplored in circles of learning and teaching of Nonviolent Communication. \nHoustonNVC invites you to explore the intersection of religion with Nonviolent Communication in this first-of-its-kind course offered online this fall. The course will be led by two seasoned Facilitators/Trainers who have spent much of their adult lives in search of beauty and meaning and perhaps surprisingly\, have therefore aligned their unique religious beliefs with the practice and spirit of Nonviolent Communication. \nWe ask that participants have some level of NVC in the form of having read Marshall’s book\, having taken one of our Fundamentals of NVC workshops\, or another equivalent. Please email us if you have any questions regarding this request. \n \nKaren Starz MA\, MAEC\, and CNVC Certified Trainer \nKaren is a consultant\, coach\, speaker\, and facilitator. The connection with Marshall Rosenberg’s work and NVC came naturally and peaked further\, ongoing exploration into the foundations of NVC. Her background spans many areas\, from interpersonal relationships to businesses\, schools\, and non-profit organizations. Other services she provides include mediation\, conflict resolution\, and curriculum writing. Her approach to NVC is based on embodying the whole of nonviolent consciousness to create an automatic\, empathic\, somatic response\, and awareness. Karen aims to bring social change through learning and is particularly interested in the spiritual connection that NVC fosters. \nSee more at www.karenstarz.com \n \nJamil Popatia\, CNVC Certification Candidate \nJamil struggled to find his purpose\, identity\, and a sense of belonging while growing up in Western Canada with immigrant parents. Jamil now considers these struggles as opportunities to build resilience in an unpeaceful environment. It wasn’t until his 30s that he discovered what dignity\, purpose\, and meaning would be for him. His response to his environment was to explore ways of nonviolently addressing interpersonal conflict. As a counselor\, mediator\, and trainer his passion is balancing empathy with authenticity in all interactions. Jamil considers this use of nonviolent communication to be dignified dialogue in that it is true to compassion and connection. Jamil is particularly interested in the intersection of faith\, spirituality\, and NVC as seen through the lenses of the religions of the world. \nSee more at www.DignifiedDialogue.ca \nWe welcome all religions and belief systems: faith-based or otherwise. Please come with curiosity and a willingness to explore the intersection of needs-based consciousness and spirituality. \nClick here to register

SUMMARY:NVC Fundamentals – Todd Porter
DESCRIPTION:We will be meeting on Mondays\, October 5th – November 23rd\, 7-9 pm CT. \nAn 8-week online learning community facilitated by Todd Porter\, HoustonNVC Board Member \nWhat is it? This is a highly interactive\, discussion-based exploration of Marshall Rosenberg’s book “Nonviolent Communication: a Language of Life\, 3rd Ed.” (Puddle Dancer Press\, 2015). Together\, we will form an online learning community in which we can apply what we’ve read about with real people in real conversation. Reading\, reflection\, and review homework provide participants with the opportunity to make the most of the weekly online interactions\, which will focus on practice and application. This is an excellent foundational workshop for the beginner or a sound refresher for returning practitioners. \nWho is it for? This course is for people who have occasion to communicate with people and want to be able to do so more effectively\, especially in the conversations which are most important to us. The people who will get the most out of the experience are those who read along in advance of each week’s session and come ready and willing to risk trying the things they read about in a real conversation with a real person. \nWhat is unique about this course? Rosenberg’s compassionate communication framework is a powerful tool we can use to make authentic\, heart-to-heart connections. Being heard\, understood\, and accepted is one of the most powerful gifts we can offer one another. It is also a gift that those around us desperately need. This group provides an opportunity to create peace in the world by creating peace within ourselves\, as well as between ourselves and all with whom we speak. \nFor more information or to register: click here

SUMMARY:NVC and The Religious Experience: The Alignment of Needs Consciousness and Spirituality
DESCRIPTION:The founder and author of Nonviolent Communication\, the late Marshall Rosenberg\, was deeply interested in the common thread found in the world’s great religions and wisdom traditions. Drawing from them\, Rosenberg was able to language their essential beliefs\, values\, and character traits as universal needs: the heart of Nonviolent Communication. Despite this\, the topic of religion- albeit messy- and its potentiality within the framework and paradigm of NVC remains largely unexplored in circles of learning and teaching of Nonviolent Communication. \nHoustonNVC invites you to explore the intersection of religion with Nonviolent Communication in this first-of-its-kind course offered online this fall. The course will be led by two seasoned Facilitators/Trainers who have spent much of their adult lives in search of beauty and meaning and perhaps surprisingly\, have therefore aligned their unique religious beliefs with the practice and spirit of Nonviolent Communication. \nWe ask that participants have some level of NVC in the form of having read Marshall’s book\, having taken one of our Fundamentals of NVC workshops\, or another equivalent. Please email us if you have any questions regarding this request. \n \nKaren Starz MA\, MAEC\, and CNVC Certified Trainer \nKaren is a consultant\, coach\, speaker\, and facilitator. The connection with Marshall Rosenberg’s work and NVC came naturally and peaked further\, ongoing exploration into the foundations of NVC. Her background spans many areas\, from interpersonal relationships to businesses\, schools\, and non-profit organizations. Other services she provides include mediation\, conflict resolution\, and curriculum writing. Her approach to NVC is based on embodying the whole of nonviolent consciousness to create an automatic\, empathic\, somatic response\, and awareness. Karen aims to bring social change through learning and is particularly interested in the spiritual connection that NVC fosters. \nSee more at www.karenstarz.com \n \nJamil Popatia\, CNVC Certification Candidate \nJamil struggled to find his purpose\, identity\, and a sense of belonging while growing up in Western Canada with immigrant parents. Jamil now considers these struggles as opportunities to build resilience in an unpeaceful environment. It wasn’t until his 30s that he discovered what dignity\, purpose\, and meaning would be for him. His response to his environment was to explore ways of nonviolently addressing interpersonal conflict. As a counselor\, mediator\, and trainer his passion is balancing empathy with authenticity in all interactions. Jamil considers this use of nonviolent communication to be dignified dialogue in that it is true to compassion and connection. Jamil is particularly interested in the intersection of faith\, spirituality\, and NVC as seen through the lenses of the religions of the world. \nSee more at www.DignifiedDialogue.ca \nWe welcome all religions and belief systems: faith-based or otherwise. Please come with curiosity and a willingness to explore the intersection of needs-based consciousness and spirituality. \nClick here to register
