Being Human Together
Communication That Works in Real Moments at Lakes of Fire
At Safety Weekend, L2O2 is offering a hands-on introduction to using Nonviolent Communication in real-life moments of stress, misunderstanding, conflict, and care.
This workshop explores how we can pause, notice what is happening, and choose a next step that supports more safety, clarity, and connection.
We’ll practice using the core NVC elements:
- Observation — What happened?
- Feeling — What am I or the other person feeling?
- Need — What matters here?
- Request — What could help now?
We’ll also explore how to turn inward to understand ourselves and turn outward to better understand another person.
