DESCRIPTION:Do you want a deeper sense of personal empowerment in your life? Do you 
 want to trust that your needs matter and can be met without cost to your 
 relationships? Would you like to know how to ask for what you want and at 
 the same time deepen your connection with others? This 4 hour class will 
 help you connect with the joy of natural giving and receiving, learn how 
 to: hear the "yes" behind the "no"; how to say "no" without saying "no"; 
 the properties of a request; group requests; and self-requests. Learn to 
 break free of the chains of politeness that can drain the joy from your 
 relationships.Anger, guilt, fear, shame, grief, and depression can be so 
 overwhelming and scary, we often prefer to do anything but experience them. 
 And yet, it takes substantial energy to suppress these emotions. When we 
 deny them, we can become the opposing force that holds the emotion in 
 place. This six week series will help you discover the patterns, thoughts, 
 and habits we form in relation to these emotions and practical skills to 
 work with them. Practicing the translation of these thoughts into feelings, 
 needs and requests, contributes to the transformation of our primary 
 relationship to self. Uncover habitual thoughts that have kept you from 
 fully connecting with yourself in challenging situations. This journey of 
 self-discovery will be supported by gratitude and forgiveness and 
 mourning.Online registration availableThis workshop is lead by NVC Santa 
 Cruz  trainer Christine King, certified with the Center for Nonviolent 
 Communication. For a full schedule of our workshops, visit our Events
