In this intensive workshop, participants will learn the skills of compassionate communication (also called nonviolent communication) as means of connecting to God, self, and others in the midst of interpersonal conflict.
A participant in the course last year said “I would rate this course a 10 out of 10 for meeting my needs for greater learning.”
Through a five-day immersion in a community of Christian leaders, you will learn how to:
Express yourself so that you will be heard more fully;
Transform criticism into opportunities for mutual understanding;
Stay in dialogue in the midst of difference and disagreement;
Experience deeper self-connection, inner peace and self-care;
Heal pain from unresolved conflict, guilt and shame;
Build authentic community based on honest expression and empathic listening.
Group Rate $400 per person when 2 or more members of the same church or organization register at the same. Call 651-641-3416 to register for the group rate.
