Are you in a relationship, love your partner very much, but don’t love the fighting, or distance you experience? Do you both want to find ways for more mutual understanding, compassion and win-win outcomes?

This 5-week course is designed for up to 4 couples who will learn the basics of Marshall Rosenberg’s Nonviolent Communication (NVC) model and practice new connecting communication skills with each other.

As a taster, you are invited to the free workshop (open to all) on 20 April, 19.15 – 21.30 (TACA, Borgerstraat 102).

As accredited coach, mediator and trainer, I enjoy supporting people in all kinds of relationship situations, particularly with experiencing more AWARENESS and CHOICE in COMMUNICATION. Next to private sessions, I offer this course because there is multi-layered learning that takes place in group settings, everyone experiences a definite sense of not being alone in the difficulties they face in communication, and it’s more affordable! I welcome any and all participant sharing. I also use examples from my own 25-year international relationship, in which there are constant ups and downs, communication challenges, mournings and celebrations.

Next to practical information and exercises, I provide a super safe environment, in which I’m very focused on (modelling) compassionate listening.

You will learn how to:
– identify & deal with alienating language (e.g. blame, judgement, comparisons, criticism)
– speak more honestly (what’s really going on personally)
– listen more deeply for understanding & clarity
– deal with emotions in a connecting way
– make requests (as opposed to demands)
– reach meaningful win-win agreements
– say and hear a “no”
– express and receive appreciation

Dates: 25 May, 8 & 22 June, 6 & 13 July

Timing: Fridays, 19.15 – 22.00
