The creator of the ‘Chicken Soup for the Soul’ series says, ‘Nonviolent Communication can change the world. More importantly, it can change your life.’

In these times of division, ‘hate speech’, censorship and ‘canceling’, when many seem polarised into right/wrong, good/bad thinking, it’s hard to imagine being able to reach a point of cooperation and non-judgment with those with whom we disagree.

If this is your experience, this is just the weekend for you! Marshall Rosenberg provides an easily learned practice for remaining compassionate in relationships, honouring our own needs and those of others, being able to listen empathically and respond with confidence and respect. 

We welcome our professional Facilitators: 

Deb Hipperson & Wayne Prince

...who both have many years of experience with NVC and ‘seen time and time again the difference it has
made in the lives of many other people.’ See more at their website www.meditatinggiraffe.co.nz – come
and join us for the weekend!

“Conflict avoidance is *not* the hallmark of a good relationship. 

On the contrary, it is a symptom of serious problems and of poor

communication.”         Harriet B. Braiker

“Peace is not the absence of conflict, but the ability to cope with it.”                           

Mahatma Gandhi

“Every conflict we face in life is rich with positive and negative 

potential. It can be a source of inspiration, enlightenment, 

learning, transformation, and growth - or rage, fear, shame, 

entrapment, and resistance. 

The choice is not up to our opponents, but to us, and our 

willingness to face and work through them.”                                               

Kenneth Cloke

“Remember not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more

 difficult still, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at tempting moment.”   

                         Benjamin Franklin
