Committed to Nonviolence: Relating to Myself

What strategies do I have for supporting myself to
keep my heart open to myself?
How do I support myself when I notice self judgement?
When I notice difficulty in connecting to my own needs or the needs of others?
What avenues of support are currently in my life,
when I want support to reconnect with myself? 

What avenues of support might I want to make?

These are some questions we explored on last nights "Relating to Myself" exploration of the Core Commitments to Nonviolence zoom call. 

This was the first of 34 zoom calls that we will be exploring over the course of the year. Join us for this weekly series as we explore the Core Nonviolence Commitments. These 6 weeks we will be looking at the "Relating to Myself" commitments and how to apply them in our lives.  This series is part of a year-long 5 part series, later parts will be linked to from here eventually.
What to expect:

• Each 2-hour call will include an introduction to the commitment, digesting the information in a listening pair (empathic listening practice!), the opportunity to receive coaching from Selene, and practices to apply the commitment over the coming week. 
• There are no prerequisites for this series AND if you have done some empathic listening practice and/or basic NVC it will be helpful.
• This is a drop in style series. You don't need to commit to each call, come as you are able. There will be a recording of each session shared. 
• These calls are meant to be introductions to the commitments and getting started with basic practices. If you’d like to explore a more in-depth look at these commitments (with 3 sessions per commitment!) I invite you to check out this program by some colleagues.
• These calls will be recorded. These calls are open to the public and to NGL community members.
• I invite you to read this learning packet  as we go.

Contribution to Selene's Financial Needs:
My preference is to move towards gift economy. For me, this is an application of needs consciousness that is at the core of this work. I'm happy to receive whatever you feel comfortable to give while also asking that you consider my financial needs. The idea is that you choose a number that balances both our needs. I have publicly shared my financial needs so that you can make a grounded decision.

My preference would be that everyone connected with themselves to find an amount that balances both our needs, and I'm aware that may take time and energy that not everyone has. If you prefer not to choose a number yourself, here is a suggestion: 0€ -20€
