NVC Mediation’s Immersion Program: US East Coast
A yearlong program that includes three intensives just north of
Boston, Massachusetts.
Intensive Dates:
January 12-16, 2012
May 3-7, 2012
September 27-October 1, 2012
To be truly at ease with yourself and those around you is
transformative. The first step is to approach every conflict—whether
internal or external—as an opportunity. When we understand and
communicate our needs with clarity, and with deep empathy for the
universality of those needs, conflict leads to connection. The
illusion of separation from self and others crumbles. Finally, we are
at home in the world.
Starting January 12, John Kinyon and Ike Lasater present a simple yet
powerful process for learning these vital skills and applying them to
daily life. The process builds on the work of Nonviolent Communication
(NVC) founder Marshall Rosenberg. For thousands of people around the
world, it has been the key to learning a new way to communicate—and a
new way to live.
→ Foster change in yourself and in the world.
Strengthen your practice of NVC, strengthen your impact.
→ Heal yourself and your relationships.
You can find common ground—and then reconnect.
→ Put conflict to work for your organization.
Everyday conflict can be a catalyst for growth.
→ Deepen your professional mediation practice.
It can be about truly meeting people’s needs.
The yearlong immersion program features three four-day intensives that
build on each other. With each gathering, we go deeper. Between
intensives, students will integrate all they are learning with
structured, supported individual and group practice. Note that the
first intensive is open to those who want to try one before committing
to the full program.
We now have a new curriculum and a more explicit role for returning
students to play both during and between intensives.
INTENSIVE 1: Participants will develop the capacity to be present
during conflict and will practice applying NVC to mediating conflict.
Topics include: self-connection and intensity practices; the three-
chair model; the nine mediation skills; enemy image process; and the
mourn/celebrate/learn process.
INTENSIVE 2: This retreat introduces new material on interpersonal
(self-other) mediation, while expanding on previous learning.
Participants will begin to gain real confidence in their skills.
Topics include: the enemy image process for self-transformation;
conflict coaching and pre-mediation; the interpersonal mediation
model; the “making amends” process; and using Marshall
Rosenberg’s healing and reconciliation model.
INTENSIVE 3: We go deeper still into mediating internal conflicts, and
we explore mediating group and community conflicts. Participants begin
to embody the skills in their everyday lives. Topics include:
mediating connection between inner and shadow aspects of the self; the
healing and reconciliation role-play process; group decision making
and “accreted” mediation; and putting barriers to success “into
the chairs.”
