Dians workshop

Hey wow finally a place we can post information about local, and than some, NVC events and information. What fun!!! This will be the place we share our newsletter, and feed back. The cool thing is, you can post stuff also. Yay!!!


Now lets get into this weekends event. This weekend July 25, and 26 was the first weekend we brought a certified trainer, Dian Killian in to teach NVC. Though attendance was small, the workshop was a huge success.


The Bellport U.U. is just wonderful, it is located right on the water, so it was a nice experience to have such a great view while we were practicing. I want to extend an appreciation for Eve and Arlene for all their help and support. Thanks ladies!!! For me being is a space that beautiful and practicing in community, with Dian brought about a feeling of comfort and connection that was truly exquisite. Dian just exudes NVC so learning and practicing came with such ease and joy, I am not sure I can capture that in words.


Let's see...Fridays event was different in that instead of teaching "the model" from the point of practicing it as we are first taught, O.F.N.R., she used our real time experiences and showed the four components of the model in that way. It felt so natural I must admit, I found that to be something that has stuck with me, and look forward to the possibilities around our intro's The games and activities were fun, yet practical, so we were giving and receiving empathy, and also guiding each other at the same time, and not even realizing it. Ahh Sweet Empathy!!! Such a wonderfully, fulfilling gift to give and receive.


Okay Okay so enough from me, I would like to invite those who did attend to say something about your experience. If it feels good and you are willing feel free to chat me up some!!!!
