A Center for Restorative Solutions

Serving the Greater Seattle Area and Beyond

The Center for Restorative Solutions and Necessary Trouble Collective are coming together to offer an introduction to Nonviolent Communication (NVC) through an antiracist, anti-oppression lens. 

This course is for white-identifying antiracists*. Nonviolent Communication provides a set of skills and a practice that teaches us how to act and live in full alignment with our core values. It does this by giving us the tools to increase our self-awareness, work constructively with difficult emotions and find a way to care for ourselves and others even in times of conflict. Ultimately, we create more compassion, understanding, and authenticity in our lives and the lives of those around us; as we increase our capacity to attend to impact, while holding everyone’s humanity and needs.

Bringing a Consciousness of Nonviolence to the Personal Work of Being an Antiracist

OUTCOMES:
  • Expand your frame of reference so that you can hold in your awareness how others might experience what is happening in ways that are not obvious to you.
  • Uncover your unconscious racial bias so you can respond to racially charged events with integrity and care
  • Care for yourself and still show up for BIPOC when harm happens
  • Be accountable for harm in ways that build trust and prioritize connection.
