Words are windows or they are walls?
A Three Day Living Retreat on Compassionate Communication
24 to 26th April 2015
Sambhaavnaa invites you for three days of deep-inquiry, sharing, restructuring, healing, learning and living compassionate consciousness.
How would it look like to live in a community where people try to express their feelings very honestly while holding care and empathy for the others, where all the voices in the community matter, where empathy is available in abundance, where we feel fully safe to share our vulnerabilities, and where beauty of the need is seen and felt behind every action.
We invite those who hold this dream and want to try to make it happen, to come to our Compassionate Living Retreat. It is largely based on the works on Nonviolent Communication (NVC) of Late Marshall Rosenberg. NVC is a way of being that supports our connection to ‘life energy’ believed to be present in all beings. It encourages us to find resources both internal and external, enough to take care of each person’s needs to live in peace, harmony and joy.
About the workshop:
It will be a living and learning retreat, where our time will be divided by spending some on structured learning and then applying it in our day to day life while we are with each other for the three days.
Discover the healing power of empathy – Learn to stop blaming others – Express your vulnerability without hurting others – Take responsibility for your feelings
