From Misunderstanding to Meaningful Dialogue – A 2-Day NVC Workshop with Anna Banas
Sherwood, Queenstown | 4–5 October | 10:00–17:30 both days
“The quality of your relationships determines the quality of your life.” – Esther Perel
Do you find yourself repeating the same frustrating patterns in your relationships? Maybe you say “yes” when you mean “no,” avoid difficult conversations to keep the peace, or feel misunderstood no matter how hard you try to explain. You might long to speak your truth without guilt, express your needs without sounding demanding, or navigate conflict without shutting down or blowing up.
This workshop is for you.
Join Anna Banas for a hands-on, heart-opening weekend exploring the foundations of Nonviolent Communication (NVC) — a powerful practice for transforming the way we relate to ourselves and others.
Over two days, you’ll learn to:
• Move beyond blame, guilt, and reactivity
• Listen with empathy (to others and yourself)
• Say and hear “no” — and find the yes behind it
• Make honest, effective requests
• Have difficult conversations with more ease and care
• Express yourself more clearly and connect more deeply
This isn’t just a listening session — it’s an interactive, practice-rich experience. You’ll work with your own real-life situations, connect in pairs and small groups, and leave with practical tools you can use straight away.
Perfect for anyone who wants:
• More joy, harmony and honesty in relationships
• Better communication at work or home
• Tools for self-awareness and emotional regulation
Includes:
• 2 full days of immersive NVC learning and practice
• A beautifully crafted workbook full of tools and exercises
• Morning and afternoon tea by Sherwood (lunch not included)
• A supportive space to reflect, ask, share, and grow
Early Bird Ticket – ends 22 Aug, 5:30 PM
Spots are limited — come solo or bring a friend. All are welcome.
