Join this interactive, free monthly workshop dedicated to improving on important relationships and your own awareness and well-being.

What if you could find ways to interrupt old patterns of friction or even conflict, and instead find a way to understand and be understood, creating peace and connection instead?

In this online workshop we will practice using a special approach to empathy and authenticity, for understanding life's communication and relationship challenges and opportunities. We will explore how to improve our handling of a variety of situations, some brought in by event participants.

We will start the meeting with some practice of the NVC basics, and then will explore situations that participants bring in.

The goal in good communication is that all parties in the process can feel seen and heard, and come out with a stronger, positive connection to others.

The event is facilitated by David B. Alexander, LP. In it, we will apply Nonviolent Communication to issues or questions that the attendees bring in, and David will facilitate the dialogue. If there are not enough issues or questions brought by attendees, there will be sample situations provided for discussion.

Nonviolent Communication is an approach to communication and relationships that is based on empathic connection, but that provides a clear understanding of what kinds of communication help bring more joy and vitality into life, and what kinds of communication prolong conflict or separation.

As a psychotherapist, David has seen the great value of these principles, and has guided numerous couples and individuals to improve the quality of their communication and their relationships.
