Communicating More Effectively Using Compassionate Communication

Welcome to "Communicating More Effectively Using Compassionate Communication" to get our needs for connection met. We will focus on working with the self to communicate in non judgement with those around you. This workshop is interactive and provides time to practice the principles that will improve the quality of your relational interactions and increase empathy and understanding.

This 8 hour workshop will cover various areas of Compassionate Communication. We will explore communicating from the heart in this shifting paradigm we live in versus communication that blocks love and connection; Identifying and expressing one's needs and feelings that recreate connection; learning "Fair Fighting" techniques during conflict; communicating empathically and compassionately within ourselves as well as with others; expressing anger and appreciation in ways that are not defensive or aggressive, recognizing how what you want and need directly impacts communication, assertion versus passive/aggressive communication styles and so much more...

This workshop is for anyone who wants to leave self sabotaging shame, guilt and blame behind while acquiring new tools to communicate what you want, need, and feel. We will learn to set boundaries and how to deal with others that do not listen or respect the boundaries you set. Participation is voluntary. My motto is: Take what resonates with you, practice, and leave what doesn't apply behind. Looking forward to seeing you all!
