NVC Integrations Course

Portland

Announcing the Second Class in our Speaking Peace Class Series

Learning the skills and consciousness necessary to establish and maintain peaceful, flowing, and satisfying relationships with both ourselves and others requires changing the habits of a life-time, especially if you were born and raised in western technological culture. And because or natural language is the cooperative and partnership language essential to our well-being, once we encounter a more satisfying possibility we want to realize our hope as soon as possible.

NVC provides both a consciousness and set of skills that together serve to create a bridge to a new, satisfying and cooperative way of living; our Speaking Peace Class Series is designed to cover the foundational understandings and experiences necessary for confident use of NVC.

Our Speaking Peace Class Series is comprised of three, eight-classes, each section of the series addresses a separate part of your developing integrated ability.

Integrations

Once you understand the map of connection and disconnection, finding and addressing your personal relationship and contribution to the pain of relationship, provides the internal resources necessary to intervene when the same old kinds of behavior arise. In our Integrations class you will learn to:

  • Identify and address your personal reactivity, thereby lowering your contribution to painful interactions.
  • Lead with compassion even though it may be very hard at times.
  • Trust that you can contribute to peace by increasing your own self-knowledge.

This training will be facilitated by Xander Macswan.

CNVC Certified Trainer

Individual and Couples Coaching, Mediation and Training

I started my practicing and sharing Nonviolent Communication (NVC) in 2003 as part of my passion for building stronger relationships, (focusing on, though not limited to, Couples and Parenting,) while developing more integrated and sustainable communities. I completed my NVC Trainer Certification with CNVC in 2016.

I've been gifted by the experience of bringing NVC into the Oregon State Penitentiary, Columbia River Correctional Institution, the Reentry Transition Center in Portland, and at Coffee Creek Correctional Facility (for Women). I currently offer Individual and Couples Coaching, mediation and various trainings to my greater Portland community and globally via zoom. Having been a Rose City NVC Teacher Training Program (TTP) participant myself, I'm now excited to offer this same opportunity (as sole proprietor of Rose City NVC), to other teachers in training.

My personal NVC journey includes many other forms of emotional/spiritual growth work with an emphasis on meditative and body awareness practices. I integrate practices which allow me other avenues to strengthen the essence of our NVC work. While I believe words and the form on NVC can help my participants get into a place of greater compassion and understanding, I also believe that holding a space of compassion and understanding in myself creates ease in adopting the new words (silently and out loud) for my participants. My spiritual outlook related to NVC is to align my daily will in progress towards awareness, acceptance, action and sharing the gifts I've received from this work. My vision for an NVC world is one in which most adults will hold this type of unconditional and loving space most of the time, supporting each other in the hard times, and in continued healing and growth, so we can be fully engaged to more of each moment on this earth.
