Developing Empathy for Ourselves

Saturday, August 13th, 9-2pm: Developing Empathy for Ourselves with Leah Boyd of Clarity Services in Buckfield.

 

In this warm and experiential training we will develop practical skills for fostering empathy for ourselves (and others!). Based in the foundations of Nonviolent Communication as well as Resonant Language, this workshop will provide context that helps us better understand our sometimes self-critical inner voice. And we will engage in practices that help us regard ourselves with more compassion and accompany ourselves with more kindness.  These skills are also very supportive at those times when we are experiencing strong emotion and/or reactivity.  Some of the things participants will learn and practice include:    Needs we share in common with all humans    Connection between our Feelings and our Needs   How our cultural conditioning has given us limited choices to manage difficulty   How using Resonant Language with ourselves builds inner trust, warmth & capacity  No previous experience is needed.  Join us!

Registration is required no later than Monday August 7th.  This is a 5 hour workshop, with 1 hour for lunch,  price is $90 each and includes lunch.   Minimum to hold class 10 ppl. If we don't meet the minimum, we will look to later in Sept or early October to reschedule.
