Taunton Transition Town is delighted to host

COMPASSIONATE COMMUNICATION:

Essential skills for challenging times

Saturday 12 and Sunday 13 March 2011.

10am-4pm

Bishops Hull Village Hall, Taunton

£45 full price (£15 concessions)

For people who are seeking to create meaningful change in their lives and the lives of their communities

Based on Marshall Rosenberg’s “Nonviolent Communication” framework (NVC), this practical workshop will teach the simple, yet profound skills we can all learn to stay in authentic connection with others when it matters most. It will explore:

• how we can communicate with others and have compassion for ourselves
• how we can really listen to what others are saying and hear what they need
• what keeps us from being compassionate
• how increased self awareness helps our own heartfelt expression of feelings and needs – and so inspires co-operation with others
• how to make our group experiences irresistible!

Led by experienced NVC practitioners, the weekend will give participants practical strategies to support compassionate communication to take back into their different community groups and work teams.
