Most of us want to be empathetic and compassionate — and yet there are moments when we feel stuck or unable to be understanding to ourselves and others. Nonviolent Communication offers a framework that operates on two levels — on the skill level and the consciousness level — to support us in understanding ourselves and others, be more connected and empathetic even in difficult circumstances.

This program will be interactive and experiential.

Module 1: An introduction to Nonviolent Communication (3 hours)

- Understanding what motivates our actions

- Understanding what causes intense feelings and how we can

- Reorienting our perspective: How to tap into our empathy when situations are challenging

Module 2: The framework in action (3 hours)

- The two Cs: Clarity and collaboration

- Applying the NVC framework in our interactions

About the Facilitator:

Ranjitha Jeurkar began her career as a journalist and has worked for several years in the media and communications industry. But it was when she attended her first few NVC workshops that she realized that the ways in which she had learnt to communicate were not the most effective!

Learning NVC, she began to unlearn so many ideas and habits, a process that continues until today.

Today, as a certified trainer with the Center for Nonviolent Communication, she shares NVC with individuals, groups and organisations.

Ranjitha enjoys working with teachers to support them in making their classrooms more compassionate and inclusive. She dreams of a day when there is a generation that doesn't have to unlearn habitual ways of communication, and is able to stay in touch with themselves.
