Where:
--> Private home near Frome (address TBC)

What is NVC?
NVC (created by Marshall Rosenberg, PhD.) is a simple and powerful practice, rooted in radical honesty and a deep quality of empathy, which aims to connect human beings to their common humanity. It provides clear and accessible tools for connecting with ourselves, and relating to each-other with compassion. It teaches us to connect to the true and loveable essence behind another’s message (no matter how it is expressed), and to express ourselves honestly, beyond our judgments of ourselves or others.

Participating in these workshops, you will explore:

❀ How to be radically honest without being judgmental or demanding.

❀ How to stand firmly and gracefully for your needs and assertively ask for what you want.

❀ How to connect through conflict.

❀ How to express and hear a “No”.

❀ The power of Empathy to dissolve anger, pain, fear and hurt. How to hear the essence of what other people say, no matter how they express it.

❀ And more…!

The Group:
In an interactive and safe learning environment, you will be invited to work on examples from your own life. We will practice Nonviolent Communication through demonstrations, role-playing and exercises, to bring the material to life in an experiential way.

There will be a special opportunity to reflect on how we may wish to apply this consciousness to bring more intimacy, authenticity and empathy to the fabric of our community here in Frome - in friendship, collaboration, parenting, partnership, etc. Reflections on this will be welcome throughout the course, and beyond.

Fees

A choice between £380-£650

A note on money: the “sliding scale” requested above is based on my attempt to balance what I find sustaining with what I imagine to be accessible. I invite you to choose an amount that you are comfortable to give. That said, if you are not comfortable with this pricing range but would like to participate, please get in touch. I would love to look for a solution that works for both of us.

*10% of profits will be donated to the Frome Solidarity Fund to support families in need in Gaza.

“This course gave me the realisation that my feelings and needs matter in a way that eight years of therapy somehow hadn’t.”

This course with Gina was a quiet revelation.. it came to be something I applied across  all my relationships; with my children, my partner, friends etc. Gina holds the group with such gentle wisdom, care and fun.. I can’t recommend it highly enough!

— Mark

“Practicing and learning NVC with Gina has been life changing for me. Whether working individually or within a group, Gina creates a container in which I feel safe and held, free to be just as I am in any given moment. It has led to deep healing and self connection, as well as deeper connection with my friends, family and the world around me. I have fallen in love with NVC through Gina and so want others to experience the magic that I’ve experienced with her.”
