My friend Mali, who is a skilled NVC practitioner, is hosting this free workshop along with Ryan McAllister. To help learning go faster and to create a more engaging workshop, Mali and Ryan are organizing this as an interaction-driven workshop that will use real life events, scenarios, anticipated conversations from the participants who are willing to play out in front of the group. They recommend that you come with a scenario in mind that you'd like to work.

"Communication is a vast part of our lives. Yet, we may experience many communications, from conversations to emails, as unsatisfying, disconnecting, or the starting place for conflict. We will explore this listening aspect of collaborative communication in a facilitated, interactive format, using real-life situations and events that you can bring."

This experiential workshop aims to support you in:
- increasing your ability to listen clearly and openly
- discerning what is the underlying message behind the surface of stories, judgments, opinions, etc…
- strengthening your capacity to hear hard-to-hear messages
- owning your feelings and needs while witnessing with care those of others
- creating a quality and depth of connection in your relationships
