The Yoga of Nonviolent Communication
Join Bex Urban and John Kinyon, a master trainer of Nonviolent Communication (NVC) and co-creator of the Mediate Your Life approach to NVC, for a Sunday mid-day retreat. This workshop will include a Signature Bex Yoga blended practice followed by experiential demonstrations and practices with Nonviolent Communication applied to conflicts and challenges in your life.
The time together will open with a yoga practice integrating the themes of the two limbs of Ahimsa — non-harming and Satya, truth. You will be invited to appreciate slowness and unraveling. Upon completion of the moving practice, all levels included, John will lead the group into experiences of yoga and ahimsa in communication when you are in different kinds of conflict situations, inner and outer. Mediate Your Life training offers 10 “conversation maps” for navigating different regions and territories in the world of life’s challenges from conflict to connection, cooperation, and new creative possibilities. The MYL approach integrates Nonviolent Communication, a mediation framework, and mindfulness (dual and nondual).
