NVC-mediation with John Kinyon Nonviolent Communication™ (NVC)has been developed by Marshall Rosenberg. People worldwide benefit from this communicationproces to connect to what's alive, to heal and to mediate. NVC makes use of an awareness and model of observations, feelings, needs and requests, which, among other things, help get to the core of conflict. To aid and strengthen a connection between people that helps them reach out to others - this is an intention that NVC shares with mediation.
This year, Bisho has invited the experienced NVC-mediator John Kinyon to
come to Europe and share his NVC-mediationskills in a unique, three-day training, entitled 'NVC-mediation'.
The class provides a format of improvised triad role-plays and group harvesting of the learning. In the role plays, you have a chance to be in the role of mediator, disputant and observer, and receive invaluable learning and feedback from the disputant and observer roles, as well as in-the-moment coaching. You can then move into the mediator's chair and put into practice what you've just learned. NVC connects us to a universal language of the heart -- a language of life. NVC develops presence, communication skills and consciousness for creating connection based in compassionate giving and receiving, even when people are making it hardest for us to do this.
