The plan    The idea of ​​organizing "NVC hikes" (NonViolent Communication) was born when we realized that nature was the ideal environment to learn and practice the concepts of Nonviolent Communication. Every month, during these walks, Annabel will share exercises that will allow us to experience NVC tools such as: empathic listening, transforming judgments, expressing anger, establishing boundaries, etc...      These walks are designed both for people who are not yet familiar with NVC, as well as for people who have already attended NVC courses, trainings or retreats and who would like to practice and deepen their knowledge while enjoying nature and discovering some of the fantastic landscapes in Barcelona and its surroundings.

The theme of the day: the power of empathic listening.

Have you ever experienced a deep sense of relief whithin when someone "really understands you"? Have you ever been listened to in a way that reach an astonishing clarity and order in your ideas after days of mental confusion? That is the power of empathic listening, a practical and powerful NonViolent Communication tool.

The objective of this journey is to understand and practice the fundamentals of empathic listening in order to connect with other people and with ourselves. Empathetic listening brings people closer and also allows you to relax the tensions that you may feel within or that you think you perceive in the person in front of you.

About Non Violent Communication

What is Non Violent Communication (NVC)?

NVC is a method/process that allows you to better understand your internal emotional process, as well as to express yourself in order to look after yourself, others, and look after your relationships as a whole. created by Marshall Rosenberg, a US psychologist and mediator, Non Violent Communication consists of 4 steps (observation, feelings, needs and a request) with practical and “magical” ingredients to avoid misunderstandings, tensions and conflicts and improve clarity and understanding.

What will you get with the NVC?

You will improve communication within yourself and the people around you. You will learn to connect with your feelings and needs, as well as those of others. You will learn that “conflict” ultimately brings us the gift of deeper connection.
