NVC has the potential to support challenging conversations around power differences and imbalances, but you need awareness of systems themselves and of the ways you can ineffectively utilise NVC strategies and this can actually get in the way.

In this session, discover how to: 

look after yourself and others in difficult conversations about power differences, 
increase somatic self-empathy
explore your own identity in relation to power 
stay with difficult conversations
become more resilient in situations where an aspect of power is playing out 
All this with a compassionate lens!

The session will involve reflection, discussion, practice and role play.

This is what we will cover in more detail

• Creating a container for doing this work with a group of people coming together for this purpose
• Body centred, Self-Empathy for exploring situations in which power and privilege play out
• Creating shared reality around understanding why understanding systems, power and privilege is important?
• Exploring your own aspects of power and privilege
• Othering and Centring that happens in communication
• How do domination systems as Marshall called them (eg white supremacy) affect you?
• Challenging people's unconscious bias/ othering/centring without falling into right and wrong or adversarial thinking
• Roleplay of challenging situations where an aspect of power and privilege is playing out
