Cindy Bigbie / Non-Violent Communication Workshop

As part of my national and local effort with the campaign to establish a United States Department of Peace, I have been learning Marshall Rosenberg's Non-Violent Communication (NVC) process.  I have found this process to be one of the most tangible ways to make "peace" a concrete part of every day and every interaction - and I SO long to build a Tallahassee community where NVC is used by the majority.

As part of my five-year journey to learn NVC, I studied with Marshall Rosenberg, the founder of NVC, in November 2009 in his Intensive Training, and in 2010-11, I participated in a year-long immersion training in NVC Mediation.  Additionally, I continue to expand my NVC know-how through a variety of ongoing courses so that I can grow in the process and help bring it to others. 

During the past two springs, I offered a four-month elective-based course at Rickards High School to high school students, and in the past two years I have offered several community-based workshops.   These experiences allow me to hone my NVC knowledge and personal practice as well as develop ways to best share the NVC process with others.  I am excited to offer the upcoming 8-week workshop on NVC to contribute to the well-being of individuals and our Tallahassee community as a whole. 

Please see the attached flyer for details about the course or visit my website at:  http://www.cindybigbiephd.com/testimonials.html where you can read about my other NVC services.  My recent training on NVC Mediation has given me skills and confidence in conducting formal and informal mediations as well as providing conflict coaching to individuals trying to figure out how to connect and be heard in a difficult situation.  So along with letting you know about the upcoming workshop, I'm wanting to get the word out about my individual and group services.   


Thanks for helping me make peace more of a reality in Tallahassee!
Cindy

Inquiry Practice --Writing from Stillness / Sonia Nalon

This four-hour workshop combines writing to self-searching prompts with some of the quieter aspects of Hatha Yoga (restorative yoga, pranayama, yoga nidra)-- sitting with the questions, rather than analyzing them. 
 
Wendell Berry: “And the world cannot be discovered by a journey of miles, no matter how long, but only by a spiritual journey, a journey of one inch, very arduous and humbling and joyful, by which we arrive at the ground at our feet and learn to be at home.”

Department of Peace Movie Night

The local Department of Peace group and Abundance Wellness Center will be sponsoring two evenings to learn the basics of Marshall Rosenberg's Nonviolent Communication technique.

Monday, September 21, 2009, 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm
Monday, September 28, 2009, 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm

We will be showing a movie called the Basics of Nonviolent Communication hosted by Marshall Rosenberg and then allowing for some discussion time afterwards. Below is an overview of Nonviolent   Communication.

RSVP:
This is a free event, but we are asking individuals to please let us know if you will be attending. You may send your RSVP to this email address (OPI@tallynet.com).

About Nonviolent Communication (NVC)
NVC can dramatically improve our relationships by helping us focus our attention on
1) Empathic understanding of others without compromising our own values, and
2) Expressing our real feelings and needs openly and honestly, yet without blame or criticism.

NVC delineates four components of communication:
1) Observations free of evaluations;
2) Feelings straight from the heart;
3) Needs, values and longings; and
4) Requests expressed clearly in positive action language.

Together these tools help create the kind of dialogue that can foster resolutions satisfying for everyone without painful sacrifice. Even in situations of  longstanding conflict or hostility, the NVC process can open new doors to compassionate connection and action.

Learning NVC is Learning to:
Build relationships based on compassion and understanding
Accurately understand other people's feelings and needs
Be assertive and negotiable at the same time
Break patterns of thinking that lead to anger and depression

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Cindy Bigbie at OPI@tallynet.com or 850-216-1061.
