How can we speak about and respond to the violence and suffering in Palestine / Israel and our despair, outrage and fears? How do those of us living in other countries want to be heard and understood about the rise of Islamophobia and Anti-Semitism all over the world?
In this two-part series, NVC trainers from the region and globally will hold and guide us through NVC practices that generate honest sharing, deep listening, and heart to heart connection. We will learn and practice communication that conveys how we feel and want to be understood without judging. We will learn to meet our own judgments, feelings, and needs with empathy and understanding and to hear others’ in the same way. This creates safety to explore how to express what is important to you and makes it more likely that others will hear and be affected by what you share.
This course is intended for anyone who feels any distress about the Palestinian and Israeli conflict, and it aims to model communication that connects us across divides.
Nadya and Roberta have shared NVC and facilitated conversations together with Israelis, Palestinians, and Internationals in Israel/Palestine and globally through Zoom for many years. They each have brought NVC consciousness and skills to people of all faiths in the Mideast, the Americas and Europe. They have witnessed and experienced the ongoing trust, connection and understanding that blossoms between Palestinians and Israelis when held in the energy of Nonviolent Communication.
As facilitators, they model and share NVC approaches of deep listening and honest heart-to-heart sharing. They also support and facilitate conversations separately with Jewish and Palestinian groups and communities in Israel and the US.
In this interactive series, participants will have the opportunity to practice NVC listening skills and transform obstacles into communication that connects.
