सुरेख संवाद कसे पाहिजे - एक प्रयत्न
Surekh Samwaad - Kashe ani kuthe:
It was in the evening at around 5pm we all gathered and started our NVC session. It was for the first time that I was sharing NVC in Marathi. These bunch of youths were the NIGHT SCHOOL STUDENTS FROM MUMBAI. When we started with NVC, I actually asked them to share some experiences of their own life, where they found that they were not heard or when they thought, people don’t understand them or there is some friction or conflict. Many situations came in and what was really significant in all this, is that yes, we all have CONFLICTS in our lives and escaping from them is not at all the solution. And that’s we need to relook at situation, with a different lens and NVC (Non Violent Communications) is a way of looking at this differently.
The sharing also highlighted that we do feel hurt and we are
torn at times, but we don’t have words to say. At times SILENCE is the best
solution to stay calm and cool but how to communicate and let the other person
know what I am going through is difficult. Also I am not sure if the other
person will understand me or not? With people whom we know little this is still
easy but with closed ones, it is very very difficult process.
In our sharing it also came, that we also have some needs of
care, to be heard, to be considered and to be acknowledged but that never
happens in our work places. The way we tried to understand needs and feelings
of a human, with respect to our own body.
The 3-H THEORY (Head, Heart and Hand) explains it
beautifully to a great extent. And we then looked at it. Only needs and
feelings was exposed to the group since we were dealing with the basics of NVC.

Then we tried by
taking one common situation. Then we looked at the needs and feelings associated
with it. Wel also did some observation but did not go into much since it was
first session and it was not a good idea to go fast but rather to let this
concept SINK IN THEM.
Post that we had
some discussion on NEEDS vs STRATERGIES. And how in our lives, many times we
just look at strategies as our needs and not the need as such. We did it through various examples from our
daily lives, and looked at the various facets. Much more to take place in the
subsequent sessions.
Looking forward
to see some more enthusiastic crowd….!!
Gratitude and
Peace.
