May 2027 (Yoram Mosenzon) DESCRIPTION:Connecting in Conflict: From Polarization to Togetherness\nHow conflict can become an opportunity for deeper closeness\n06-09 May 2027\nW ith CNVC certified trainer and mediator Yoram Mosenzon (Connecting2life)\n In English\, with consecutive translation into German \;\n[Um diesen T ext auf Deutsch zu lesen\, bitte hier klicken.]\nDo you enjoy conflicts?\n \nFor many people\, conflict is something to avoid\, fear\, suppress\, or win. Yet conflict can also be one of the most meaningful opportunities we have: an opportunity to understand ourselves more deeply\, to truly get to know another person\, to build trust\, to heal old wounds\, and to discov er new possibilities together.\n\nIn school\, most of us learned mathemati cs\, history\, and languages\, yet very few of us learned how to navigate human relationships\, disagreements\, hurt\, anger\, disappointment\, or d ifferences of opinion.\n\nThis workshop is dedicated to learning the art o f dialogue: how to stay connected when it matters most\, how to transform conflict into cooperation\, and how to create relationships that are both honest and caring.\n\n \;\n\nNavigating Conflict as a Core Skill\n\nNo matter where I travel in the world\, one thing is always the same: every human being experiences conflict.\n\nSome people express it loudly. Others keep it hidden. Yet all of us encounter moments of frustration\, misunder -standing\, disappointment\, hurt\, fear\, and tension. \n\nWe experience conflicts with our partners\, children\, parents\, friends\, colleagues\, neighbors\, and sometimes even within ourselves.\n\nThe question is not wh ether conflict will happen. \n\nThe question is: What do we do when it doe s?\n\nCan conflict become a doorway to deeper understanding rather than di stance?
\n\nCan differences become a source of creativity \;rather t han separation?\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\n \;\n\nFrom Polarization to T ogetherness\n\nOne of the greatest challenges of our time is polarization. \n\nWhether in intimate relationships\, families\, organizations\, communi ties\, or politics\, we often become stuck in opposing opinions. Each pers on or group is convinced that they are right and the other is wrong\, and dialogue slowly turns into debate\, defensiveness\, persuasion\, or withdr awal.\n\nWhether it is a couple struggling to decide which school to send their child to\, or nations disagreeing about how to respond to climate ch ange or AI\, the challenge is fundamentally the same: we need to find ways to work together.\n\nWhen we remain at the level of opinions\, we easily experience one another as opponents. Separation grows\, and we all become more alone.\n\nIn this workshop\, we will practice how to move beyond the level of opinions and polarization and enter a dialogue that allows togeth erness\, understanding\, compassion\, creativity\, and cooperation to emer ge.\n\n \;\n\nWe will Explore and Practice\n\n❀ \;How to connect in conflict and transform it into deeper trust\, understanding\, and crea tivity\n\n❀ \;How to navigate differences of opinion without losing connection\n\n❀ \;The power of empathy and its ability to transform relationships and dialogues\n\n❀ \;How to express yourself honestly without blame\, criticism\, or judgment\n\n❀ \;How to work with inne r conflicts and competing parts within yourself\n\n❀ \;How to stand for what matters to you while staying connected to others\n\n❀ \;How to transform polarization into cooperation and shared purpose\n\nAnd much more…\n\n \;\n\nAbout Nonviolent Communication (NVC)\n\n \;Nonv iolent Communication (NVC) is a practical approach to communication\, conf lict resolution\, mediation\, coaching\, and personal development.\n\nUsed throughout the world in organizations\, businesses\, schools\, prisons\, families\, communities\, and intimate relationships\, NVC offers concrete tools for creating understanding\, cooperation\, \;and connection.\n\n At its heart\, NVC helps us transform the way we speak and listen so that even difficult conversations can become opportunities for understanding\, healing\, and collaboration.\n\nNVC takes you from your meditation cushion into real life - it helps you live your deepest values in relationships a nd in countless day-to-day situations.\nIt can profoundly transform the wa y you communicate with yourself and others\, moving it toward a quality of deep compassion.\n\n \;\n\nLearning style\n\nYou will be invited to w ork on examples from your own life in an interactive and safe learning env ironment. We will practice Nonviolent Communication through demonstrations \, role-play and exercises in order to integrate NVC values and language m ore into our daily lives.\n\nThe way we teach is: 30% Theory and 70% of Pr actice/Demonstration/Learning from LIVE situations that are happening in t he here and now. Our focus is very much on the Embodied aspect of ‘Nonvi olent Communication’\, so be ready to dive.\n\nExtra support\n\nWe will have assistants accompanying us during this course.\n\n\n\nWhen\n\n06–09 May 2027\n\nStart: \;Thursday at 14:00\nEnd: \;Sunday at 13:00\n\ nDaily Schedule:\n08:30–20:00/20:30\n\nBreakfast: \;08:30–09:30\nL unch: \;13:00–14:00\nDinner: \;18:00–19:00\nBreaks\nThere will be a 15-20 minute break approximately every 1.5 hours\,\n1-hour-and-15-mi nute lunch break\n1-hour dinner break\n\n\n\nWhere\n\nLebensgarten Steyerb erg e.
