Getting what I want or what I need? With IRMTRAUD KAUSCHAT | 
| Convert to your time / Add to calendar When I WANT to get someone to do something, I am often attached to my favourite strategy. Sometimes this works out. However, when it doesn't work out, I might try to get it by fighting, which none of us usually enjoys. In this situation it is helpful to take a look at my needs I am trying to meet by this strategy and open up to other options. This will support my relationship with others. I invite you to explore other options than your favourite strategy in situations like this. | |
RADICAL ACCEPTANCE AND THE POWER OF MOURNING WITH IRMTRAUD KAUSCHAT |
| Convert to your time / Add to calendar There are times in our lives when we feel helpless because we can't change what is happening around us, often when we experience loss or violence. We can become bitter, angry, violent, depressive, and we have a chance to accept what is and mourn - and find our way back to life. During this session we will do an exercise about radical acceptance and mourning. | |
Living Ubuntu in Everyday Conflicts (Humanity towards others) with FRANCA ONYIBOR and DUKE DUCHSCHERER | 
| Convert to your time / Add to calendar Exploring and learning a simple tool for a Restorative response to everyday conflicts. This simple tool is a structured way to create a safe space for supported dialogue between two people in conflict. It can be used to address smaller or less intense disagreements while still embodying the underlying principles of Restorative Practices, which also embodies the principles of NVC. | |
Empathy: The Practice of Radical Presence with MATTHEW RICH-TOLSMA | 
| Convert to your time / Add to calendar Often when we find ourselves caught up with trying to win an argument, with trying to prove who is right and who is wrong, we are obsessing about the past ("who did what to who, when") or the future ("how can I reach the outcome I have in mind"). As a result we often miss what is right in front of us. Empathy is not about the past or the future, rather it is about connecting to the aliveness of the living present. In this short workshop we will play with different approaches for connecting with what is alive now in our embodied experience, and explore how to playfully connect through empathic guessing to what is going on between others NOW. | |
Recognizing and Transforming Reactivity into Conscious choice with IRMTRAUD KAUSCHAT and FRANCA ONYIBOR | 
| Convert to your time / Add to calendar Have you noticed yourself snap at someone with an angry response before even you realised you were upset? Have you noticed your heart start to race, your breathing getting shallow in the face of a situation you are facing? or you may experience yourself gasp, hit hard at an object in order to let off steam? Have you experienced yourself using painful words at someone and you realise it was too late to take those words back? These may be signs of reactivity. Are you longing for a way to be reactivity such that you are able to make conscious compassion choices in those moments? During this program, you will learn ways of recognising and transforming Reactivity into conscious compassionate responses. | |
Weaving Vision for Sustainable Social Change with FRANCA ONYIBOR and Mathew Rich-Tolsma | 
| Convert to your time / Add to calendar For sustained social change efforts, it helps to weave a compelling vision of the world we want to see, be it in our personal life, family, other relationships or the world. The process of articulating our compelling vision, personal or for a group, will be explored during this session |
