SUMMARY:Intro to Navigating Conflict Workshop (online)
DESCRIPTION:More than ever\, the world needs your aliveness. Join us in learning how to relate with skill\, compassion and effectiveness. \nIn this introductory online workshop\, we will cultivate our capacity to connect with ourselves and others\, practice nonviolent communication skills\, and develop conflict resilience in our work with others. \nWe want to know that our collective efforts to bring about needed changes and work toward Just Transition will be fruitful. When we pour ourselves into the things we care about\, we want to know it matters. Especially in times such as these\, how exhausting to see our hard work melt away as conflict slows down\, stalls out\, or\, worse yet\, dissolves our collaborations. \nThe legacies of a domination paradigm (capitalism\, patriarchy\, white supremacy\, to name a few) have left us without the skills we need to lean into interdependence. This makes it incredibly hard to collaborate effectively. It makes it harder still to find generativity in conflict. \nBut it doesn’t have to be this way! Nonviolent or “Compassionate” Communication (NVC) offers us a toolkit to deepen our own embodied self-connection\, build our capacity to reach out for support\, and relate to ourselves and one another with empathy so that we can show up more fully to our work in the world. And as we begin to unpack the way that domination culture has shaped our very language\, we can learn new/old ways of communicating that bring us more deeply into alignment with our values\, our purpose\, and into connection with one another. \nDuring this online intro workshop we will explore practical strategies for undoing domination in ourselves\, our communication\, our relationships\, and our collaborations. The session will include interactive content and practices to engage with real-time examples from your life. You will have the opportunity to be paired up with another participant for practice outside of the workshop.This workshop will support you to: \nIdentify patterns of domination culture and develop a needs-based orientation that can enable you to undo domination\nExplore NVC as an embodied mindfulness practice and grow your capacity to tune into body sensations as valuable feedback from your nervous system pointing you towards what matters to you\nGrow your awareness of and vocabulary for resonant language – including “feelings” and “needs” – and your understanding of the brain science behind why this kind of language works\nDevelop an empathetic listening practice with a buddy outside of sessions as a foundational tool for resourcing yourself to show up better in conflict and collaboration (optional)
