2024, July 29, 10.00 – August 2, 13.00
with Dalia Verbyle and John Gather
in Guronys
We invite everyone who wants to deepen their NVC skills!
The seminar will be held in English with translation into Lithuanian.
Every time we blame others or ourselves, we express our own unmet needs, thereby increasing violence on the planet. As a result, pain and frustration can arise, escalating accusations and creating enemy images to which we succumb and come to believe that the other person or group of people is evil and has the intention of harming even us. All this can lead to physical violence, which usually happens.
With NVC, it is possible to change deteriorating relationships with other individuals into better ones. Only when we understand the need for tragically expressed (often considered normal) ways of communicating do we create a more peaceful world. The power of empathy and vulnerable dignity and authenticity can heal relationships one step at a time.
We will learn about the process of healing and reconciliation according to NVC, which has been successfully applied to reconcile victims of violence and abusers. The mentioned process can also help to heal our inner violence: when we talk to ourselves with self-hatred, when we try to change our behaviour or when we feel guilty about something and think we deserve punishment.
We want to create a warm and safe community space in the group so that we can all practice empathy and respectful communication together. We will also learn to share what we mourn and what we are grateful for. In both mourning and glee, we can connect with the beauty of our needs.
Place of the seminar: Guronių retreat house, Kaišiadorių district.
