“John’s mediation training has offered me the steepest learning curve I have found for incorporating NVC into my life.” — Class Participant

NVC Mediation training will teach you how to: Empathically connect to another’s experience in challenging conflict situations Translate judgments into need language with greater ease and naturalness Return to presence and connection in the midst of the intensity of conflict Express yourself from connection with needs Creatively support collaborative solutions

 

"The mediation series provided me with practical yet powerful skills for resolving conflict - in my own life and the lives of others. I've been a "peacemaker" at heart all of my life. However, prior to this training, I didn't have the tools to translate my intention into action. Since the workshop I have gone on to do several successful mediations with clients in my private practice as well as friends and family. If only I would have learned these skills 15 years ago! John's mastery of the material, depth of experience and integrity in living the process are exceptional. I highly recommend this training!" — Chris Kresser

Overview

This telecourse in NVC mediation will help you develop and strengthen your abilities to apply NVC skills as a mediator of conflict, both your own and others.

This class provides an experience with the language, skills and consciousness of NVC applied to mediating conflict in all types of conflict situations:

• business/organizational
• personal
• family
• community relationships

You will have the chance to learn the approach to NVC mediation and training John Kinyon and Ike Lasater have developed over the past 7 years, and do this in a small sized class (12 participants) for greater individual coaching and experiential learning.

NVC mediation skills are easily learned and when applied holistically can assist a person to remain connected to their own needs while productively assisting in the resolution of conflict.

Training Description

At the heart of the training is a three chair process designed to create an experiential learning environment with multiple modes of learning based in real time feedback, in-the-moment coaching and self-directed learning.

• Communication and mediation skills and challenges are differentiated and layered in ways that you can direct the level of challenge and complexity within your particular learning zone.
  
• In conflict role plays, you will learn by doing and receiving feedback from multiple perspectives. You will have the chance to play mediator and disputant, with roles rotating for optimal learning. Being in the mediator role, you’ll practice staying present and connected with yourself moment by moment and get real time coaching from John as well as feedback from those in the disputant roles and from those observing. As disputant or observer, you then have the opportunity to move into the mediator’s chair and put into practice what you have just learned.
• There is a back and forth flow between experiential doing and “harvesting” the learning from each role play and practice situation. John demonstrates, coaches, facilitates and shares his perspective/experience throughout, thus modeling the very skills he is offering.

In the role plays, you can put your own real conflict (internal or with another) “into the chairs” and receive the benefits of playing yourself in the conflict (and receive empathy for yourself and understand for the other), and also to be able to play the role of the other in the conflict and receive a deeper compassion and understanding for them and greater peace and clarity for you.

"Taking a mediation series with John was one of my most enjoyable and fun learning experiences in recent years. I've taken various NVC classes over the years but the mediation class taught me NVC more powerfully than anything else. I began to see for the first time the power, the simplicity, and elegance in the NVC model. I am really excited to continue deepening my NVC and mediation skills." - Tiko Shah
