Empathic Boundaries: Saying No Without Guilt

Empathic Boundaries: Saying No Without Guilt

If you hear rejection when someone says "no" to you, or if you struggle to say "no" even when you want to - this workshop is for you.

Plus there is an amazing plant-based dinner & dessert included in your ticket! Stay back to continue the connects over a nourishing meal.

In this workshop based on Nonviolent Communication (NVC) you will discover how to listen to feelings and needs that sit behind the "no" and how to connect to what truly matters to yourself and others. You will get to know some foundational tools of NVC, and practice on examples from real life. This session is interactive, and you will walk away with some understanding of NVC processes and materials to practice in your own time.

You will discover:

• what stops you from saying "no" when you really want to
• how to connect to what matters (to you and others) and find the needs behind the "no"
• how to listen for needs, rather than look for conflict

Event followed by a plant-based dinner and dessert, all included in your ticket!
