Communication Skills
How to have this conversation you need to have
Connecting with each other is a basic human need. How do we connect? We communicate.
Isn’t bizarre that we never learned in our classrooms such basic aspect of connection among individuals? We spend 12 years in school learning about life, and lessons on how to communicate with each other are not on the curriculum.
Well, we can not change the past, but we can make our present more fulfilling as a society. And it is through sincere communication that we can touch each other in a meaningful way.
In this workshop:
• You will discover the concepts of peaceful communication based on Non-Violent Communication (NVC) as developed by Dr. Marshall Rosenberg
• You will play with words and messages to stimulate your learning
• You will bring home some practical tools to be more in tune with your intentions before using words

Workshop for mediators

You will experience, with concrete examples and practical exercises, a model for truly listening to the message behind expressions of anger, fear and distress. You will discover how NVC skills help us transform judgment and misunderstandings into a communication channel that connects people. With this new awareness, you will learn how we can bring our facilitation and mediation skills to a new level of effectiveness. Be aware that speaking the language of NVC can change the way we practice mediation. Be aware that speaking the language o f NVC can change our lives.

1/2 Day Fun for Families
What about spending a day with your those you love?
Samy and Rita are a team of co-mediators, they are Accredited Family Mediators, and they know something about communication. It must be working for them because they have been married for almost 40 years.
With them, you will explore how to speak so that s/he hears you, and how to listen so that s/he will speak. You are going to play and laugh, you are going to have this conversation you crave to have. Most importantly, you will have fun and get closer to each other.
You will discover and liberate your creative mind, you will learn peaceful words to help you connect or reconnect in a caring and loving way. You might learn something new about each other, and maybe even about yourself.
During this mini-vacation, you will spend a few hours laughing; you will boost your relationship, and yes, you will feel refreshed and energized without having to pack a suitcase or take the plane.
