Communication in Practice: Nonviolent Communication and Healthy Conflict

Conflict arises in every relationship. What if, instead of seeing it as an inherently bad thing, we saw it as an opportunity for growth? In this workshop, we will dive further into nonviolent communication in YOUR context. We will cover how to use empathy to step into the shoes of others, better understand their feelings and needs, listen actively, and practice expressing yourself authentically. You will be invited to reflect on a specific situation from your life, identify your needs and the specific requests you might take to get there, and explore the role of that power dynamics might play when we approach conflicts from a place of empathy and respect.

Tuesday, May 28th 8:30 - 9:30 PM

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Show me the charities

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.

Theatre MAD
The Make A Difference Trust fights HIV & AIDS one stage at a time. Their UK and International grant-making strategy is based on five criteria that raise awareness, educate, and provide care and support for the most vulnerable in society. A host of fundraising events, including Bucket Collections, Late Night Cabarets, West End Eurovision, West End Bares and A West End Christmas continue to raise funds for projects both in the UK and Sub-Saharan Africa.
