SUMMARY:Mediation: A Facilitated Conversation with Karen Starz & Michael Dillo
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the next series of mediation with Michael Dillo and Karen Starz! \n“All it takes is a lot of patience\, the willingness to establish a human connection\, the intention to follow NVC principles until you reach a resolution\, and trust that the process will work.” -Marshall Rosenberg\, Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life \nFor six weeks we will explore mediation in community from the perspective of a Nonviolent Communication consciousness. We will focus on how to navigate those courageous conversations with an open heart. Guiding us through this journey are two CNVC Certified Trainers\, Karen Starz and Michael Dillo\, who have a passion to connect people in a human way so that they can enjoy contributing to each other’s wellbeing. \nIn this process\, when connection is valued rather than details\, solutions tend to come easily. Learn how to connect using observations\, feelings\, needs\, and (doable) requests. Walk away with the confidence that connection is always available and accessible with patience. \nThis is not your typical legal mediation style. Come with an open mind and a willingness to share and practice. We will be using real-life experiences as role-play. Tools will be offered in presentations from Karen\, Michael & video-clips from Marshall B. Rosenberg. Participants will be able to practice individually in smaller groups in break out rooms. \nWe will be meeting remotely via Zoom on Fridays from Jan 7\, 2022 to February 11\, 2022\, from 10am to 12 pm Central/Houston Time. \nKaren Starz\, CNVC Certified Trainer\nSee more at karenstarz.com\n \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. One way she embodies this aim by contributing as President of Houston NVC. \nMichael Dillo\, Assessor and CNVC Certified Trainer\n \nMichael in his “first” life was a professor for civil engineering. In his PhD thesis he specialized in underground constructions and tunneling in rock\, what paved his way from his home country Germany to Switzerland in the early 1990’s. As much as he enjoyed living in this beautiful country\, he started to feel increasingly dissatisfied with his job as an engineer and was disheartened dealing with technical questions all day. He struggled with with fear of change and a lot of messages like: I “have” to pay for my family\, I “have” to finance my house\, my insurances\, my car\, the vacation… \nIn 1997 he was inspired to attend a workshop with Marshall B. Rosenberg to find some answers to his questions and fears. During the first three day-seminar\, he received some fundamental life-changing answers. However\, it took him quite a while to understand the difference between intellectually understanding NVC and internalizing it. For many years he began to connect with feelings and needs as he had never done in life before – he began to empathize with himself and others. \nIn 2002 trust in himself had grown so much that he was able to quit his engineering profession without feelings of fear or guilt. Again and again\, he was fascinated by and grateful for the experience that things\, people\, inspiration\, and even money come “by chance“. He has been a CNVC Certified Trainer since 2004 and started to work worldwide. In 2013 he was asked to join the CNVC Assessors Team of the German-speaking part of Switzerland and the CALF Team in the USA. He is passionate about supporting certification candidates on their path to deeply integrating NVC while heading for certification. \nSee more at www.frei-raeume.ch \nThe requested amount is $240 for the six-week series if you register before Nov. 1st and $300 if you register after. \nRegister here

SUMMARY:NVC and Habits: A 12-Week Journey - Karen Starz\, MA\, MAEC\, CNVC Certified Trainer
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a 12-week supported journey through creating more life-serving habits. Increase self-awareness and explore your habits within the context of Nonviolent Communication. The exploration of habits will take place in a community of trust and includes the opportunity to select a package that offers one on one sessions with Karen Starz\, MA\, CNVC Certified Trainer\, as additional support outside of the group coursework.\n\nExpect to consciously integrate the work for two hours a week outside of the class sessions. The “work” however\, will aim to be fun\, relaxing\, playful\, energizing\, and full of curiosity around your own belief systems and thoughts. I choose to call it growth work and not homework! The aim is not to change habits although\, that will be a byproduct of the course. The aim is deep self-connection and connection to divine beloved energy.\n\nWe will meet together live\, in weekly group sessions beginning October 3rd\, 2021 from 6-8 pm Central Standard Time (CST).\n\n​We will not be meeting on the Sundays of Nov. 28th or Dec. 26th.\n\nWho is this program for?\nThis is open to anyone who would like to learn and have support while exploring habits and patterns that are no longer serving them.\nThese habits could be internal patterns\, such as thoughts or defense mechanisms\, or external behaviors like substance-related habits (this program could also be a meaningful companion to a 12-step or other recovery program).​\n\nLearn More & Register

SUMMARY:Fundamentals of Nonviolent Communication - Karen Starz\, MA\, MAEC\, CNVC Certified Trainer
DESCRIPTION:Fundamentals of Nonviolent Communication\n8 Week Series\nFor an in depth learning of the fundamentals of Nonviolent Communication and a journey through “Nonviolent Communication\, A Language of Life” by Marshall Rosenberg\, please join Karen Starz\, CNVC Certified Trainer starting in August 2020! \nWe will be meeting on Fridays\, August 13th – October 8th\, from 9-11 am CT. There will be no session on Friday\, September 3rd.\n \n  \n\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.\n\n\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.\n\n\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.\n\nThe requested amount is $180 USD per participant for the 8 week series. You will also need to buy a copy of Marshall Rosenberg’s Nonviolent Communication\, A Language of Life. \nPlease contact Karen (starz.organizer@gmail.com) to make a request for tuition assistance or payment plan\, as needed. \nHouston NVC supports all economic levels and does not turn away participants.

This is an excellent foundational workshop for the beginner or a sound refresher for returning practitioners.\n\n\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.

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.\n\nThe requested amount is $180 USD per participant for the 8 week series.

SUMMARY:NVC Mediation Practice Group - Karen Starz and Michael Dillo
DESCRIPTION:You’ve got the skills\, you’ve taken the courses\, and have loads of information – it’s time to practice.\n \nWe will provide a place to work out life’s dramas\, conflicts over right and wrong\, and long-standing arguments in this live Mediation Practice Group. \nFacilitated by 2 CNVC Certified Trainers in a trusting environment\, everyone will get their turn to practice NVC-style guided conversation and mediation. \nYou’re eligible for the practice group if any of the following apply: \n\nIf you’ve taken our Mediation course OR \nIf you have at least 10 hours of NVC Mediation OR \nIf you have other experience that would lend to this practice\, please get in touch directly with Trainer Karen Starz to discuss the possibility of attending\n\n~~~\n \nFor six sessions over 12 weeks\, we will practice mediation in community from the perspective of a Nonviolent Communication consciousness. Guiding us through this journey are two CNVC Certified Trainers\, Michael Dillo and Karen Starz\, who have a passion to connect people in a human way so that they can enjoy contributing to each other’s wellbeing. \nIn this process\, when connection is valued rather than details\, solutions tend to come easily. Practice connecting using observations\, feelings\, needs\, and (doable) requests. Experience how connection is always available and accessible with patience. \nCome with an open mind and a willingness to share and practice. We will be using real-life experiences as role-play. \n  \n  \n  \n  \nMichael Dillo\, Assessor and CNVC Certified Trainer\n \nMichael in his “first” life was a professor for civil engineering. In his PhD thesis he specialized in underground constructions and tunneling in rock\, what paved his way from his home country Germany to Switzerland in the early 1990’s. As much as he enjoyed living in this beautiful country\, he started to feel increasingly dissatisfied with his job as an engineer and was disheartened dealing with technical questions all day. He struggled with with fear of change and a lot of messages like: I “have” to pay for my family\, I “have” to finance my house\, my insurances\, my car\, the vacation… \nIn 1997 he was inspired to attend a workshop with Marshall B. Rosenberg to find some answers to his questions and fears. During the first three day-seminar\, he received some fundamental life-changing answers. However\, it took him quite a while to understand the difference between intellectually understanding NVC and internalizing it. For many years he began to connect with feelings and needs as he had never done in life before – he began to empathize with himself and others. \nIn 2002 trust in himself had grown so much that he was able to quit his engineering profession without feelings of fear or guilt. Again and again\, he was fascinated by and grateful for the experience that things\, people\, inspiration\, and even money come “by chance“. He has been a CNVC Certified Trainer since 2004 and started to work worldwide.

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. One way she embodies this aim by contributing as President of Houston NVC. \nSee more at www.karenstarz.com \n  \nWe will be meeting every Friday starting April 30th thru June 4th from 10 am – 12 pm Central Time (US)/ 5-7 pm Central European Time.  \nWe are offering a sliding scale for this series.\n\n$240 – The top price class ticket is the actual cost of the class. If you choose a ticket price below the top tier you are receiving a discount. \n$180 – The middle price is for those who are able to meet their basic needs but have little expendable income. Paying for this class may qualify as a sacrifice but it would not create hardship. \n$120 – The bottom price is for those who struggle to meet basic needs and paying for this class would be a hardship. \n$300 – The Pay-It-Forward price is above the actual cost of the class and that extra money goes towards supporting scholarships for this class. It’s an opportunity to take your class and support your fellow community members.\n \nPlease use this graphic if you need help to determine your scale.\n \n  \nWe are committed to making our workshops accessible to all. To request a payment plan or support\, email Karen Starz.
