Transforming Enemy Images
We will be practising with four elements of empathy (presence, udnerstanding, supporting a language of needs and specific requests) and self-empathy to transform these enemy images and deepen connection to ourselves and others. The training will be held in English and is open to anyone with prior experience in NVC through having followed one or more NVC-workshops. For those of you who would like to experience John Kinyon's expertise and presence for longer than just a day: consider participating in the three day training on NVC-mediation that John will be conducting in June as well.
