Quit Smoking
with Hypnotism and Acupuncture
|
|
|
Only about 25% of smokers
who try to quit on their own succeed; this number more
than doubles by adding the use of hypnotism, which can
help by removing the unconscious drive to smoke. Add
ear acupuncture, which can decrease the physical withdrawal
symptoms, and your chance at succeeding easily and safely
greatly increases. This hour and a half class is an
experiential introduction: you’ll experience a light
trance and find out about what acupuncture can do for
smokers, so you can decide whether or not this process
(which usually takes about four sessions) is for you.

How Couples Can Avoid/Resolve
Conflict: Learn 5 Simple Skills
|
|
|
All couples have disagreements,
but why? Did you know that research now shows the single
best indicator of divorce is the way a couple speaks
to each other? In this class we'll explain what causes
conflict, and teach you a few easy-to-learn techniques
that will turn 80% of those potential arguments into
opportunities for greater intimacy, instead of frustration
and anger. We'll share with you our skills as professional
couples mediators and NVC* instructors. Bring your spouse
or come alone. This class will also be helpful for people
between relationships seeking to improve their partnership
skills. |

There are three reasons people
eat when they are not hungry: habit , emotional stress,
and body cravings. Of these, only habit is easily controlled
by the conscious will. We'll use light, natural trance-work
to speak to the stress issue , and ear acupuncture to
lessen the physical cravings. With this kind of support
your chance at achieving your weight goals for the New
Year greatly increases. This two hour class is an experiential
introduction: you'll learn about hypnosis and experience
a light trance and find out about what acupuncture can
do for you. (Following through on your weight-loss regime
will take a few follow-up sessions. Students in this
class will get a discount on subsequent hypnosis sessions.)

|
Trance-Forming your New Years
Resolutions
Into Effortless Action with Hypnosis
|
|
|
The reason we don't keep our
New Year's resolutions is because most of them are long-term
goals, like quitting smoking, weight-loss or actually
going to the gym on a regular basis. And while the conscious
mind may want to keep its word, it isn't actually the
part of the mind that handles long-term goals - that's
the realm of the unconscious. In this experiential workshop,
you'll learn how hypnosis works, and actually experience
a light trance, in which we'll guide your unconscious
to follow through with your resolutions. (Some habits,
like smoking, may take a few follow-up sessions to bring
about complete change. Students in this class will get
a discount on subsequent hypnosis sessions.) |

How Couples Can Avoid/Resolve Conflict:
Learn 5 simple skills
|
| |
Led by Max & Elise Rivers |
|
|
| |
|
|
All couples have disagreements, but
why? Did you know that research now shows the single
best indicator of divorce is the way a couple speaks
to each other? In this class we'll explain what causes
conflict, and teach you a few easy-to-learn techniques
that will turn 80% of those potential arguments into
opportunities for greater intimacy, instead of frustration
and anger. The instructors will share with you their
skills as professional couples mediators and NVC*
instructors. Bring your spouse or come alone. This
class will also be helpful for people between relationships
seeking to improve their partnership skills.

About the Facilitators
John and Ike have each been training with NVC for 10 years
and have been developing and evolving their mediation approach
for the past 7 years, beginning with a journey together
to the Pakistan-Afghanistan border to work with Afghan tribal
elders in 2002, shortly after the bombings following 9/11.
From this experience they saw first hand that despite cultural
differences and multiple language translations, the NVC
mediation process produced connection and collaborative
resolution, even with a real dispute that came alive in
the room during the training. For more information about
John and Ike, visit their websites, www.johnkinyon.com and
www.wordsthatwork.us.
“Ike
and John’s training has offered me the steepest learning
curve I have found for incorporating NVC into my life.”

This program provides a learning context for you
to:
~ Practice presence, connection, and self-expression in the midst
of conflict
~ Deepen skills of empathic listening in challenging situations
~ Translate judgments into need language with greater ease and naturalness
~ Learn how to facilitate people hearing each other's needs
~ Develop skills for supporting clear requests and creating collaborative
solutions
Overview
Many participants in John and Ike's NVC mediation trainings have
reported accelerated development in their NVC skills, their capacity
for presence, and growth and healing in their relationships. This
residential retreat provides an intensive experience with the language
and consciousness of NVC applied to mediating conflict, including:
a five-step model, nine mediation skills, and a pre and post mediation
process. The training is based in the mediation model developed
by NVC founder Marshall Rosenberg, Ph.D. and provides skill building
towards applying NVC to conflict in all types of situations -- from
legal to business/organizational to personal and family relationships
- and in four main contexts - internal, interpersonal, informal,
and formal. |

Bring your real-life couples or personal
conflicts, and we'll work together as a group, using
NVC and Teamwork Mediation, to help you resolve them.
This will be an opportunity for
couples who can't afford Couples Mediation or
don't need a whole series of private sessions to receive
help resolving issues too big for your current skills,
but small enough to work out in a single, group session.
Attendees report learning as much
or more from observing others as they do when it's
their turn to mediate.

Teen Talk: How to talk to your parents so they stop treating
you like a kid; how to talk to your friends when you feel
tongue-tied.
|
| |
Led by Max & Jason Kelley |
|
|
| |
|
|
Is talking to your parents like talking
to a wall, sometimes? Do you feel like they still
talk to you like you're a child?
Does even the simplest request, no matter
how important, often end up in a fight?
In the first half of this four-week
class will teach you how to talk to parents (and other
grown-ups) so they treat you with the respect you
deserve, and so they understand what it is you are
trying to say. (We'll also give you a handout for
your parents, suitable for attaching to the fridge,
with suggestions about how they can listen better
to you!)
In the second two weeks, we'll show
you how to apply your new skills to those moments
with friends and classmates when you know you want
to say something, but it's hard to know just how to
say it.
We'll also work on how to respond to
mean or hurtful things other people say to you.
Philadelphia
High School juniors and seniors will get 6 hours of
community service upon completing the four classes.

Do you spend the precious little "quality"
time you have with your kids fighting over every little

simple-to-master skills that will empower you to communicate
with young people successfully. Using NVC*, Non-violent
Communication, you'll learn how to respond to the

Dear everyone, More than just a luxury
in ordinary times, Compassionate Communication skills are
more important than ever in our rapidly changing world.
While many people are experiencing stress or worry about
conditions in today's world -- the state of the economy,
for instance -- more and more are recognizing that in order
to gracefully weather the chaos, skills to communicate and
connect are extremely valuable. Compassionate Communication
is much more than a communication process -- it is a way
of life that can be applied in any situation to bring about
more peace, harmony and mutual respect... that can resolve
any conflict to everyone's satisfaction. Is that something
that sounds attractive to you? Would you enjoy developing
those skills within yourself? If so, I invite you to join
Bob Wentworth and me for a fun and experiential workshop.

Zen and the Art of Conflict
Learn to see conflict as
opportunity!
Mindful Communication" is
the first in a six-part Foundations Program that gives
a solid grounding in the practice of Nonviolent Communication.
The workshop will have assistant trainers to maximize
the level of coaching and support each participant receives.
The program is interactive and makes use of diverse learning
modalities, including exercises, games, role plays, and
pair work. We consistently receive celebratory emails
about the Foundations Program, with participants expressing
delight with the level of modeling, learning, integration
and community they experience. Come join us for this unique
experience!
How do you currently deal with conflict?
• Do you become angry or frustrated?
• Do you shut down emotionally or hold back?
• Do you feel frightened or immobilized?
• Are you frustrated that people don’t see your side?
• Do you avoid confrontation at all costs? Or find it
lurking everywhere you turn?
• Would you like it to just go away?
• Do you wish you had better tools to deal with conflict
more effectively?
If you answered yes to any of these
questions then Zen and the Art of Conflict is for you!
In this course you will learn to:
• Foster cooperation & trust
• Listen actively without losing sight of your own concerns
• Know that you were fully heard
• Maintain life-serving conversations & connections
• Connect physical sensations with feelings and needs
• Make observations that are clear and judgment-free
• Distinguish needs from strategies
• Learn the difference between a request and a demand
• Make clear, positive, do-able requests
Who might be interested in this course?
Anyone who wants to:
• See conflict as an opportunity to connect more deeply
with yourself and others

or more from observing others as they do when it's
their turn to mediate.

of Nonviolent Communication (NVC), a powerful method used

THE ABCS OF EMPOWERING COMMUNICATION

Empowering Communication, we dive into the mechanics of
communication with self and others, viewed through the lens
of Marshall Rosenberg’s Nonviolent Communication. Participants
receive a clear map and concrete directions for finding
relief and peace of mind around specific communication challenges.
We request that those without prior training in NVC attend
the Friday evening introductory workshop before attending.
THERE WILL BE A $25 EARLY BIRD DISCOUNT FOR ALL THOSE WHO

About the facilitators:
François Beausoleil has been teaching Nonviolent
Communication in communities since 2004. A graduate of the
NVC Leadership Program offered by the San Francisco Bay
Area Nonviolent Communication (BayNVC) organization, he
now works for BayNVC as a trainer and program coordinator.
Currently he is also directing a year-long training program
for a social service agency in California.
Inessa Love Growing up in a family in which genuine
connection was an artifact and the other person was always
to blame, and later seeing my parents going through a painful
divorce, I was keenly aware that there must be another way.
I learned how to transform my own adversarial patterns of
communication and became a communication trainer and coach,
teaching others to do the same.
I have been studying Nonviolent Communication since 2002
and I have graduated from North American NVC Leadership
Program in 2006. I have taught hundreds of people in public
workshops and provided personal coaching to dozens of individuals,
couples and professionals. I have offered over 50 workshops,
trainings and speeches to a wide variety organizations ranging
from The World Bank, to nonprofits, spiritual communities,
and social change activists.
To support my students and clients in learning new skills
and transforming their own relationships, in June 2006 I
founded a monthly newsletter tiled Connection Times: Communication
Successes and Challenges. I believe that by learning how
to apply principles taught in my workshops, trainings and
the newsletter people can radically improve the quality
of their relationships with others and create harmony, collaboration
and peace with those around them. I aspire to contribute
to peace, love and understanding in the world and to help
people get their needs met and resolve their conflicts peacefully.
I believe in transforming the world, one conversation at
a time.
I have received a Ph.D. in Financial Economics from Columbia
Business School in 2001. As a senior economist at the World
Bank, I have also published a dozen of papers and articles
in academic journals, including top field journals such
as Journal of Finance, Journal of Financial Economics and
Journal of Development Economics. :

In this workshop, we'll be dealing
with:
- How to find the "Yes" in someone's "No"
- Learning that "No" isn't the end of the conversation,
it's the beginning of the negotiation.
- Learning how not to take 'No' personally
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
This is the first of two, day-long "Dance"
workshops. In this one we'll focus on how to "hear"
a 'no' in a way that creates a win-win solution for both
parties.
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
In the next workshop we'll learn how to say 'no' in a
way that creates connection instead of conflict.
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
In both workshops we'll be using games, chanting, dance
and play to make the learning fun and easy.

"What
I Tell Myself"
Self-Empathy
Intensive
|
| |
Led by Thom Bond
|
|
|
| |
|
|
Many people experience a correlation
between self-empathy and how well we are able to stay
in "NVC Consciousness." For many of us, the ability
to Self-Empathize represents a key to integrating
NVC into our lives and significant relationships.
We learn that our ability to self empathize becomes
a requisite skill for Living NVC Consciousness. Deep
Empathy, Dialogue, Mediation, Being an NVC Trainer,
and perhaps most importantly, knowing what we want
to do versus what we think we should do, all are supported
by our skills in Self-Empathy.
This workshop is an opportunity to
understand and practice Self-Empathy at a new level
and identify practices you can use for the rest of
your Life, as an NVC practitioner and as a Human.

For December, we'll be having a pre-holiday
NVC party/class/NVC at the Movies! Just in time for
the holidays, we'll be doing a class on how to use
NVC to get the most out of spending time with friends
and family. We'll be showing segments of a holiday
movie that demonstrates the challenges of being fully
yourself when you're with people who "knew you way
back when..." and we'll make a party of it, with popcorn,
and snacks.

In a safe and interactive workshop environment,
you'll practice steps to see beyond the "tigers"
in your family,
and make a heart connection.
We'll provide a little theory for those
new to NVC, and a lot of practice for everyone.
By the end of the day, you'll have tools and a mini-plan
to make this Thanksgiving a little sweeter.
Workshop Preview:
We'll be excavating to discover heartfelt
longings and life energies that are just waiting to invigorate
us! In the workshop we'll creatively work/play with five
questions. I've given some of my own responses to give
you the flavor of our day.
1. What kind of Thanksgiving do I want
this year? What kind of mindset and heartset do I
want to bring? When I picture the kind of Thanksgiving
I want to have, I picture feeling in charge of myself.
I've taken time to prepare myself. I welcome people with
self-respect, ease and warm enthusiasm. I comfortably
go with the flow while consciously caring for my own needs.
I take pre-planned "bathroom breaks" to connect with my
heart and review my "free-me" sheet. I make a special
connection with a family member, and feel gratitude for
that moment.
2. What part of myself is longing to
be seen and welcomed by family? For me, it's a quiet
calm part of me. I don't want to feel lost in the holiday
shuffle; I want to be able to speak softly and still be
heard and appreciated. For some of my friends, the longing
is for respect and appreciation for their efforts, and
for support. Other friends long to be seen as capable,
caring adults; they want equality and mutuality with family.
They want to be respected for their decisions. Won't it
be special to name a part of you that's longing to be
seen and welcomed? And then to experience being seen and
welcomed in the warm and supportive atmosphere of the
workshop? How freeing! In small groups, we'll also help
each other come up with practical (humorous?) steps to
care for that part of ourselves this Thanksgiving. We'll
write them down on a "free-me" sheet.
3. Who would I like to make a special
connection with? How would that benefit me? For me,
it'll be a person I usually want to "escape from" in order
to connect with my own wholeness. A special connection
would help me stay connected with my wholeness - using
a creative alternative to "escaping."
4. What part of that person is longing
to be seen and welcomed by family? This is where the
magic is! With creative support in small groups we'll
gain a major insight into a family member. Role plays
are a fun way to do this excavation. It's amazing how
often the other person has the same longing we have.
5. What strategies might I use to make
a special connection with that person? We'll use role
plays in small groups to test and refine our strategies.
We'll record our game plan on our "free-me" sheet.
By the end of the day, you’ll have tools
and a game plan to make this Thanksgiving a little sweeter.

All couples have disagreements, but why?
Did you know that research now shows the single best indicator
of divorce is the way a couple speaks to each other? In
this class we'll explain what causes conflict, and teach
you a few easy-to-learn techniques that will turn 80% of
those potential arguments into opportunities for greater
intimacy, instead of frustration and anger. The instructors
will share with you their skills as professional couples
mediators and NVC* instructors. Bring your spouse or come
alone. This class will also be helpful for people between
relationships seeking to improve their partnership skills.

Every day we experience conflict that brings
pain and disconnects us from each other, including those
closest to us. How can we stay open in response to anger,
mistrust, and pain and learn to live our daily lives nonviolently?
Compassionate, nonviolent communication, based on the work
of clinical psychologist Marshall Rosenberg, Ph.D., is both
a consciousness and a tool that supports open-hearted connections
between people and strategies that meet everyone’s needs.
We will consider:
• How do I transform my habits of judgment
into compassion?
• How do I live my values, especially with “difficult” people?
• How do I transform “victim” thinking by taking responsibility
for my own needs and choices?
• How do I learn to see the beauty behind every action and
in every person?
• How can I connect with the divine energy in myself and
others?
