May 4, 2022 @ 3:00 PM – May 6, 2022 @ 5:00 PM CDT
May 4 & 6 | 3-5pm Eastern
Decolonizing Nonviolent Communication
Deepen your emotional vocabulary and expand your self-awareness by decolonizing non-violent communication.
Join us and workshop facilitator Meenadchi to learn how to deepen your emotional vocabulary and expand self-awareness through decolonizing nonviolent communication (NVC) practices. You’ll learn how to better understand conflict and what your body is saying during communication.
This training offers a framework of speaking in ways that feel true while acknowledging and unpacking how systems of oppression may be built into the ways we speak to each other. This intro-level training will provide tools for deepening your emotional vocabulary, understanding conflict as it emerges in your most intimate relationships, and practical exercises for expanding your self-awareness and ability to offer empathy towards self and others.
Key outcomes of this training:
- A clear framework for exploring and understanding conflict
- A more intuitive sense of your body’s sensations and what they mean
- An expanded emotional vocabulary
- Practices to build empathy for self and others

Loved by Community Builders
This course was a great way to connect with others and feel less isolated in my experiences. It also offered insights into identities I don’t inhabit that will help me understand others more and be a better ally. – Fatima H.
