  2. Acknowledge the blocks to EMPATHY
  3. Build our skills in PRESENCE
  4. Practice-holding PRESENCE for others and ourselves
  5. Practice reformulation (spoken EMPATHY)

Participants will experience how empathy strengthens learning and work communities.

This program could also be a valuable workshop for parents to build family well-being and resiliency.

Program 3: Restorative Discipline Circles (Schools)
Restorative Circles (organizations/families/businesses)

This program teaches the basics of NVC with Restorative Circles to build harmony within any community.

This process gives participants specific skills to experience conflict as a point to begin meaningful authentic connection.  It provides hope that conflict does not need to lead to further disconnection but can actually build connections that are more vibrant and nourishing.

This program is for groups or systems that want to move from punitive discipline/punishment approaches to a restorative approach where understanding and community well being can flower.
Time commitment:  2 – 5 days
