The entire Transition experiment is focused on working together in community. But what happens when other people in the community bug you?
This evening will focus on using Nonviolent Communication to address typical group dynamics that dampen morale, make decision-making a chore, and cause burnout. We’ll practice:
- expressing our values without moralistic judgments
- honing our requests and reservations in order make meetings flow smoothly (and helping others hone theirs)
- using self-empathy to process our resentments
Co-sponsored with Non-Violent Communication Santa Cruz.
