Five Skills for bringing compassionate communication into your life
Presented by Dr. Sean Ross
Non-violent Communication (NVC) is a powerful method for creating heart to heart connection in our relationships so that our needs get met in an empathetic way. In a Buddhist context, we learn to see the beautiful enlightenment nature of everyone around us and so enter the pure land, where all experiences teach the dharma and we are surrounded by Bodhisattvas and Devas urging us on.
In this seminar, we will practice five essential skills: Presence, Observation, Feelings awareness, Needs Awareness and Gratitude. No particular background in NVC is needed, but participants may find that a copy of “Non-violent Communication, A language of life” by Marshall Rosenberg will help them prepare for and get more out of the training. To learn more, visit our New England Institute for Buddhist Studies, here.
