Fall Mindful Communication Workshop| 12-3pm Join us this fall for a monthly Mindful Communication Class Series with Founders of Long Beach NVC Jenny Ahn and Rachel Bennish. Learning to navigate through our emotions takes skill and learning. Many of us early on aren’t taught mindful and compassionate communication skills and struggle with articulating and expressing ourselves fully. Mindful communication practices provides the tools necessary to increase our awareness of not only how we speak and communicate with others, but most importantly the way in which we speak to ourselves. Join us in this fall series and improve your ability for empathic and authentic connection with yourself and others, and tools to navigate the emotional body with more awareness and compassion. These classes are based on the principles of Nonviolent Communication by Marshall Rosenberg and deepen our ability to: Connect to self + others Articulate feelings and thoughts with clarity and purpose Resolve inner conflicts Make peace with ourselves Acknowledge triggers and move through them Forgive + Resolve negativity/resentment Create healthy boundaries for ourselves Listen with compassion What to expect : *Interactive partner and group work *Sacred Space & Confidential learning environment *Understand your own feelings and needs as well as tuning into others’ *Listen more attentively to others with compassion and empathy —————————————————————————————— Making Peace with Ourselves: Shifting the inner Dialogue Saturday November 9, 12-3pm Sometimes the most complex and difficult relationship we have is with ourselves. We can be our own harshest critic and easily spiral into self judgment, blame, shame and doubt without even being conscious of it. We may have trouble or lack the skills to navigate and express our thoughts or hard to digest emotions. Sometimes all it takes is being aware to tap back in to our natural state of compassion.
