At the start of a New Year, dedicate some attention to a fresh approach to your working relationships! In this 7-week workshop, we will cultivate our capacity to connect with ourselves and others and practice nonviolent communication skills that can support our working together productively, authentically, and with care, in service of our work towards collective liberation.

ABOUT THIS EVENT

*Details on fees, sliding scale, and scholarship options can be found below.*

When we pour ourselves into work we care about, we want to know it matters. We want to know that our collective efforts to bring about needed changes and work toward Just Transition will be fruitful. How disheartening, exhausting, and frustrating it is to see our hard work fall short as conflict slows down the momentum of our work or, worse yet, leads us to step away from collaborative efforts. 

The legacies of a domination paradigm (capitalism, patriarchy, white supremacy, and scarcity to name a few) have left us without the skills we need in order to collaborate effectively and to find generativity in conflict which, on some scale, is inevitable.

Nonviolent Communication (NVC) offers us a toolkit to deepen our own embodied self-connection and build our capacity to relate to ourselves and one another with empathy so that we can show up more fully and authentically to our work in the world. As we begin to unpack the way that domination culture has shaped our very language, we can learn new/old ways of communicating that bring us more deeply into alignment with our values, our purpose, and into connection with one another as we work together to build the world we long for.

During this 7-week, online workshop, we will explore practical strategies for undoing domination in ourselves, our communication, our relationships, and our collaborations. Each two-hour session will include interactive content and practices to engage with real-time examples from your work and life. You will have the opportunity to be paired up with another participant for practice in between sessions. Because a shared experience with colleagues can make it easier to bring this language and these skills into your working relationships, we encourage you to sign up with one or more of the people you work with! This course will support you, and the colleagues and collaborators who join you, to:

• Understand empathy: what is it and why does it matter in working relationships? How can I listen with empathy and compassion, with others and with myself?
• Explore NVC as an embodied mindfulness practice 
• Grow your capacity to tune into body sensations as valuable feedback from your nervous system pointing you towards what matters to you
• Develop an awareness of and vocabulary for resonant language – including “feelings” and “needs” – and your understanding of the brain science behind why this kind of language works
• Prepare for difficult conversations, and have more tools for “clean up” afterwards
• Foster connection while maintaining personal authenticity
• Identify patterns of domination culture and develop a needs-based orientation that can enable you to undo domination
• Develop an empathetic listening practice with a buddy between sessions as a foundational tool for resourcing yourself to show up better in conflict and collaboration

This workshop is not meant to be a forum for working through active conflicts with one another, but rather a place to be supported in cultivating the skills that will help us to engage more effectively with conflict in our working relationships.

As the end of the year approaches, we invite you to join us online to deepen with Just Transition, exploring how dissonance affects us and resonance opens up possibilities.

About this event

This workshop is an opportunity for reflective engagement with the ideas of Just Transition.  We are invited to bravely face the discomfort of cognitive dissonance as we recognize misalignment between our actions and our ideals. This honest look increases our awareness of the impacts of living under systems of extraction. We will examine what cognitive dissonance means, how it shows up in our lives, and how it stands in the way of the regenerative world we desire. From a grounded place, the workshop invites us to tap into our own sources of creativity and access more energy to envision shared pathways toward collective action. 

This was an incredibly generative and meaningful workshop. From setting the tone and intentions of our time together, through the embodiment practices, to the opportunities to share in large and small groups, the facilitators held and inspired space for self-connection, community connection and radical imagination. Thank you so much. This workshop felt like a gift. ~Julie S.

During this workshop, you will be invited to explore: 

• Mindfulness and embodied presence
• The meaning and symptoms of cognitive dissonance through the Just Transition framework 
• Noticing and sharing examples of how cognitive dissonance manifests in your life
• Solo imaginings of possibility, change, alignment, regeneration, resonance
  • Note: Have on hand any tools that support your creativity! Examples include, but aren’t limited to: pen and paper, musical instruments, pastels, crayons, markers, pipe cleaners, clay, yoga mat, etc.
• Collective inspiration and ideas for ways forward

The quality of light by which we scrutinize our lives has direct bearing upon the product which we live, and upon the changes which we hope to bring about through those lives. ~Audre Lorde 

Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing. ~Arundhati Roy

In this 6-week, BIPOC-only workshop, we will explore and cultivate nonviolent communication skills that can support our working together productively, authentically, and with care.

When we pour ourselves into the things we care about, we want to know it matters. We want to know that our collective efforts to bring about needed changes and work toward Just Transition will be fruitful. How disheartening, exhausting, and frustrating it is to see our hard work fall short as conflict slows down, stalls out, or, worse yet, totally disrupts our collaborations.

• Using a self-empathy model as a tool for addressing systemic barriers to identifying and meeting our needs
• Listening with empathy and compassion
• Preparing ourselves for difficult conversations
• Attending to grief and mourning
• Fostering connection while maintaining personal authenticity
