This evening is an opportunity to use the Connected Conversation Process to connect with other participants. You might meet a potential date or new friend, or you might use this process to connect more deeply with a partner or friend who's attending with you. This process supports us in building connection with each other through a balance of kindness and authenticity. We'll give you a primer on the Connected Conversation Process, if you're not already familiar with it, then ask you to partner up to practice. Past participants at Communication Dojo told us that they would look forward to this experience every time we did it, because they were so often surprised by the depth of connection they would experience, even with a complete stranger, in just a 30 minute conversation. Come solo or bring a friend, colleague, partner or date and experience the magic of the Connected Conversation Process.Upcoming Topics- Find other upcoming Communication Dojo in-person, drop-in classes in SF- Communication in Intimate Relationships 5-week Online ProgramA Participant Shares:"Nonviolent communication (or Connected Communication) has helped me and my partner speak in a much more conscious and effective way. It was a perfect transition and supplement to our prior couples therapy. It helps in every way, at work, with friends, with family, etc. I can't recommend these classes and Newt as a teacher enough. I wish we all had to take NVC classes in school, it would change the world." ~ Elise H., San FranciscoClass Description​JOIN US AT THE COMMUNICATION DOJO FOR THIS WEEKLY OPPORTUNITY TO IMMERSE YOURSELF IN NONVIOLENT COMMUNICATION AND TO WORK ON REAL CHALLENGES FROM YOUR LIFEChanging how you communicate means changing habits, developing new skills, strengthening existing skills, and finding new ways to understand your thoughts and actions, and those of the other people in your life. As you gain greater proficiency and mastery you find that situations that used to trouble you greatly now seem surprisingly easy to navigate, and situations you would previously have avoided completely now fall within your capacity to handle.The Communication Dojo provides an excellent environment to bring about this change with a combination of:- Study- Practice- Community- Your commitment to a more joyful life​We don't just want you to understand the skills, we want you to be able to access them when you most need them...Whether you’re already a student of Nonviolent Communication or not, we all know that in moments of anger, upset, sadness, fear or frustration there's a much increased chance of us falling back on what Marshall Rosenberg called "Jackal" communication - the kind of communication that leads to disconnection and conflict - communication that takes your time and energy but does not give much in return.​Your body probably tries to give you instant feedback when this happens - even before you get to the bigger signals like hot face, tight stomach, tensed muscles, increasing loudness of speech. The momentum of defense and counter-attack, shut down or flee, can easily take over - but what if you get more quickly tuned in to the signals your body is giving. What if you start listening more to what your body is saying, and including your body, its signals and its movement in a kinesthetic approach to Nonviolent Communication?​You'll discover how play, movement and bodily gestures can all accelerate the sense of "getting NVC in your bones." Our aim is that you'll develop greater bodily awareness, and respond more quickly to steer yourself in the direction of connected communication any time you start to veer in a less useful direction.​As soon as you concern yourself with the 'good' and 'bad' of your fellows, you create an opening in your heart for maliciousness to enter. Testing, competing with, and criticizing others weaken and defeat you.--- Morihei Ueshiba, Founder of AikidoSome features of the Communication Dojo practice environment:​Chances to use your real-life situations to guide experiential learningEfficient use of group time to maximize learningHigh proportion of time used for small group discussion and practice in pairs - learning communication by communicating.Minimal "jargon" i.e. language that might be confusing or alienating for those not familiar with NVC.Little likelihood of people developing any sense of "Doing it wrong" or "Trying to do it right."Mixture of experience levels deepens practice and learningBring your real situations to the dojoWho’s it for?​Experienced with NVC? - Do you sometimes find that your attempts to use NVC do not lead to the connection you want? Perhaps they even lead to greater disconnection? Or are you looking for a different kind of NVC learning environment for friends, family members, or colleagues you really want to introduce to the power and potential of NVC.​New to NVC? - Come try out the Communication Dojo. You'll find that whatever your current approach to communication, you can start from that point and expand your range of options from there at a rate that suits you.Topic RotationWe rotate through 14 topics, and add a bonus topic every 8 weeks.Every class is a drop-in, so there's no beginning point or end point to the topic rotation.You can drop in any week.

He believes strongly in teaching the principles of NVC in a way that frees students from specialized language, and allows facility with connected communication to grow in small, quickly assimilated steps. The Communication Dojo provides Newt with an environment where he teaches the principles by which he lives, including his most recent insights and approaches.Since 2006 Newt has been facilitating NVC groups, and leading public workshops and workshops in organizational settings including corporations, not-for-profit organizations, schools and San Quentin prison. He has led retreats and yearlong programs in the USA and Europe. Newt has a private practice as a consultant and coach, with particular focus on communication, conflict resolution and leadership." } ] } ] ```
