SHAME is a rarely discussed but very common emotion. The intensity of feeling shame can be confusing and overwhelming. The chains of shame can be hard to throw off - they can be woven into our sense of who we are, our thoughts, our breath, our movement through the world. And surprisingly, self-shaming can be one of the ways that we try to support ourselves to belong in our families, our friendships, and our communitie

Center For Nonviolent Communication Presents an INTERNATIONAL INTENSIVE TRAINING USA - Pacific Northwest April 3—12, 2015
Program: This International Intensive Training (IIT) is a 9-day, Nonviolent Communication “immersion experience.” It is a residential workshop led by a team of experienced CNVC Certified Trainers.
The purpose of this IIT training is to offer people the opportunity to live the process of Nonviolent Communication in community over an extended period of time, in order to develop Nonviolent Communication knowledge, skills and consciousness.
One exciting focus of this specific intensive training is exploring how individuals and teams can influence systems, cultures, communities and organizations, to become settings where all people can thrive.
Sharing our pain, our grief, our rage: Letting the unacceptable in. Dehumanizaton using language, leading to violence: "The only way I can describe it, it looks like a demon, that’s how angry he looked." Nonviolent protest, civil disobdience and destruction of property: How do we move toward peace, mutual respect and sustainability while including those who protest by destroying property? Wrong, wrong, wrong! How do we communicate with people who see not only another perspective, but another reality? Rise up! How can the NVC community play an active role in supporting those in need and creating peaceful social change in situations like Ferguson?
Path of Empathy... Essential Relating An Introductory Training in Nonviolent Communication
This training is for you if you would enjoy to be supported in deepening self awareness of your inner compassionate self and ways of empowering your authentic self-expression in the relationships that matter most to you.
Empathy as a path to Intimacy...
Is there anything more important than a loving intimate relationship to contribute to your well being? It is such a nourishing experience to feel connected to someone you love deeply. When it works, life can seem easy and flowing. You feel the constant support of the love of your partner.
A natural motivation arises to take care of your beloved in the best possible way you can. A level of respect between you means that there is an honouring of each other and what you bring to each other. There is a sense of working together to create something special - to share the joy of your relating with others, so that they too might have a taste of the love you share between you.

At BYIO 2013, participants shared how Marshall Rosemberg and his teaching of Non-Violent Communication (NVC) impacted them.
Being You, Inspiring Others (BYIO) is a 3-Month Development Program for People Who Share NonViolent Communication (NVC).
To best support NVC trainers in becoming effective, skillful and powerful, this program is going to focus on three development paths: • Integrating NVC skills and consciousness into every aspect of one's life • Mastering NVC concepts in a deeply rooted way • Accessing a wide range of creative and effective ways to share NVC
On January 30, 2014, twelve kindred spirits gathered at Highlands Camp and Retreat Center in Allenspark, Colorado, for an inspiring deep-winter weekend of community called the 2014 NVC Family Camp Summit. Organized and planned by a joint team from Family HEART Camp and the Vashon NVC Family Camp, this landmark event used Open Space Technology to structure three days of mutual learning, celebration and creativity, including brief remote participation by people from around the U.S. and Europe.
When someone comes to us in distress and begins to describe an event that we remember or experienced differently, our first impulse is often to correct the other person. After all, we may reason, if the other person just got the story right, she would no longer feel distress, right? So we set about to educate, to correct the facts or interpretations that we know are different from her version....
Putting empathy before education can make a world of difference in our daily interactions. It makes it possible to receive everyone with consideration. The phrase “empathy before education” can serve as a handy reminder to take the time to really hear the other person before we hurry to offer our own interpretations. Then we can shift the focus away from the past—even if it’s the very recent past—in order to make connecting agreements in the present and future.
We are a team of people who share the values and practice of nonviolence, inner wisdom, social action and Empathic Presence. We serve through offering ressources that promote deep personal and social transformation.
This is our full time work, sharing and learning with groups, and co creating communities of practice with people that belong to: Faith communities, prisons, Non profits, government agencies, families, and groups of all kinds.

Empathy is like shifting smoothly into gear while the opposite is grinding the clutch and gears. To develope a culture of empathy, first, develop a consistent self empathy practice that you are committed to.
When we think about empathy, it mostly is about others, but what about you? Do you know what it is to have empathy for yourself?
When our essence is of God and therefor we are inherently good, doesn’t it stand to reason then to look at how we treat ourselves? I see our journey of life as an inevitable and necessary process of self discovery, perhaps you do too.
We may start out as an empty page but soon the impressions that life makes upon us start to fill the page and in the process we may loose the sense of who we really are.
From the book, "Although the fundamental capacity for empathy, which is part and parcel of mutual recognition, is an innate human feature, we need to receive sufficient empathy early in life to be able to attain and maintain true mutuality as well as empathic connection with ourselves and others.
EMPATHY CAFÉ IS A FREE SOCIAL TIME WHERE ANYONE CURIOUS OR VERSED IN NONVIOLENT COMMUNICATION IS INVITED TO BE IN COMMUNITY WITH OTHERS. YOU CAN PLAY “EMPATHY POKER,” WHERE ANYONE CAN HAVE A TURN AT SHARING WHAT’S MOST ALIVE OR IN NEED OF BEING HEARD AND SUPPORTED WITH EMPATHY, OR JUST SOCIALIZE AND CO-CREATE COMMUNITY.

I’m excited to share with you this the introductory chapter of my new book. In these introductory pages below, I would like to share the reasons I chose to write the book and develop the Inner Empathy work, explaining how it might assist you in your Nonviolent Communication practice. I also want to share a bit about my own challenges as I developed my work with the hope you might be inspired to move further in your own journey. I believe that Nonviolent Communication can have a significant impact for those of us interested in deep personal growth and facilitating our spiritual path (whatever that is to you). If you would like to experience the Inner Empathy process, schedule a private session or check out our retreats and classes. (The first chapter is contained below. If you prefer to read offline, you can download a pdf of the first chapter.
This Sunday tele-event is for those who would like to deepen their experience with the three modes of Nonviolent Communication: Self Empathy, Self Expression and Empathy for Others. No previous experience needed. You will be held in this co-created nurturing container of the Wisdom Circle facilitated by Mair Alight, Certified Trainer/Consultant with the Center for Nonviolent Communication (www.cnvc.org) and Collaborative Trainer with BayNVC..
The format of this tele-event: a check-in at the beginning, followed by rounds of silence (5-15 minutes) followed by each person sharing the experience they had in the silence as the others of us listen. Check-out round at the end of the call.
Pass is always an option! Once we have listened around the circle, we go again into the silence, repeating this until the session is complete.
In a culture that emphasizes judgment, criticism, punishment and blame, the need to be heard and to matter are two of the greatest unmet needs. Smith teaches that true empathy meets those needs.
Smith says, "People want empathy and not sympathy." She teaches that often sympathy, the expression of pity, is confused with empathy, total presence, hearing and acceptance of another's reality. To practice true empathy, we learn to put aside a life time of cultural conditioning. That takes a lot of practice.
Smith teaches when we are empathetic, we do not judge or blame, agree or disagree, wonder what he can do to help, or how we might respond. . We sit in quiet, still presence with an open heart. This requires gentle attentiveness to our own state of mind.
Want to clear your inner path toward your 2013 goals?
Negative self-talk keeps you from experiencing your potential every day–your potential to feel free, blissful, loving, hopeful, and excited about life.
Even a momentary distraction of anger, shame, blame, or fear can derail you from a peaceful and uplifting experience and take you way of course from your personal goals.
Most of us feel embarrassed or frustrated that this negativity comes up and keeps us from getting back into the flow of loving life.
Empathy is a fashionable concept at the moment and I celebrate this. Learning to listen with empathy is, I believe, the most important step towards a more peaceful and sustainable world.
Applying the NVC approach to empathy means listening to what someone is expressing beyond the words they use. Most people have been educated to express mainly their judgements and analysis. So being able to hear their unexpressed feelings and needs is a great gift to them – it’s reaching out to what is really alive in them and not only staying in the relatively narrow realm of the mind. If their judgements are directed towards me then empathy is also an essential act of self-protection!
