Co-led by Barbara Leitner and John Gather
We offer a multiple day training program of Nonviolent communication for persons, who wish to deepen their capacity of living nonviolently every day. We will work on skills such as making clear observations, becoming more aware how feelings and thoughts live in us and how to express them, connecting deeply to needs (fulfilled or unfulfilled) and their inherent beauty, and making positive and clear requests. You will be empowering yourself by learning to embrace (rather than suppress) your jackals/judgments and explore your enemy images. As trainers, coming from both East- and West Germany, we hope to represent in our collaboration that reconciliation is always an option.
We use various methods: the NVC tree of life, floor cards, dyad meditations, role playing, demonstrations, presentations and NVC principles experienced through body movement.
So please, come and join us, for some wonderful days of co-creation and authentic living!
Dates: July 21 – July 25
Time: Starting at 17:00 on the first day and finishing at 13:00 on the last day.
Place: Guronys retreat center, Kaisiadorys district, Lithuania.
Retreat language: English, with full translation to Lithuanian.
Registration: until June 20.
