Introduction to Inner Relationship Focusing and Nonviolent Communication

This weekend workshop runs approximately 9am – 5 pm on September 9, 10 and 11, 2011.

This workshop is for you if:

- you’d like to release self-criticism and increase self-love and acceptance

- you’d like to know better what you feel and want

- you’d like to release action blocks

- you’d like to make clear and centered decisions

- you would like to live from fullness rather than from lack

- you want to live your full, present-moment, joyful whole self and potential…

In this workshop, you will be introduced to the 2 movements of NVC and Inner Relationship Focusing:

1. Moment by moment mindfulness and EMPATHIC PRESENCE to whatever is blocking our path to action, taking away our energy, and stopping us from embodying the ideals we have.

2. Moment to moment self responsibility, and living from wholeness rather than lack.

Nonviolent Communication combined with IR Focusing gives us skills to develop true intimacy as the combination helps:

• develop honesty and empathy inside of ourselves and in our relationships. Really knowing all parts of ourselves, we are able share on more & more authentic levels.

• learn new ways of thinking and speaking that lead towards connection, nourishment, and continual growth in relationship to ourselves and others.

• recognize and value the needs behind all our actions, seeing them as gifts.

• learn to embody the presence, authenticity and self responsibility that lead to lasting healing and self-empowerment.

  Nonviolent Communication and Inner Relationship Focusing

integration teleconference program

hosted by the NVC Academy

Co-facilitated by Shulamit Berlevtov and Gina Cenciose

This program runs from January to June, 2012. Classes are held from 7-9 pm Eastern time, every second Tuesday.

Integrate NVC and Focusing skills and you will:

• Offer yourself the same compassionate presence you receive from your favorite empathy buddy.

• Connect with even the most stuck emotional reactions so they make sense and release you.

• Make clearer choices to respond to life as your whole self.

• Make contact with your bodily felt senses, which are doorways into fresh energy and new possibilities.

Inner Relationship Focusing is a special way of paying attention to yourself so that you sense the whole way you are feeling about situations or issues in your life. This is different from just having emotions or just getting in touch with feelings. Focusing involves having a different kind of relationship with emotions and feelings. It’s as if you are becoming your own empathy buddy. The result is greater calm, wiser choices and a deeper sense of connection to your own life and being.

With Focusing, you go directly to the place where you have a deep body-knowing about a situation. There is wisdom in our body-mind which we tend to ignore, partly because our modern, fast-paced, head-oriented culture is just not set up that way. The curriculum will be presented in the light of NVC consciousness, informed by the principles and practices that NVC nourishes.

Each class will include a remembering (Focusing attunement), a 25-45 minute teaching with feedback and questions, and small group practice, along with harvesting and extended check out. Empathy buddies and Focusing buddies between class sessions will also be included.

Registrations are not yet open for this program. For more information, contact Shulamit.
