Center for Courage and Renewal
Founded by Parker Palmer, the Center for Courage and Renewal is now directed by WNC clergy member, Katheryn McElveen. Their resources and programs will teach you skills for deeper listening, wholehearted decision-making, exploring your vocation, and building trustworthy relationships.
Nonviolent communication (abbreviated NVC, also called compassionate communication or collaborative communication) is an approach to communication based on principles of nonviolence. It is not a technique to end disagreements, but rather a method designed to increase empathy and improve the quality of life of those who utilize the method and the people around them.
LMPC programs and resources address ways of resolving conflicts and building healthier relationships in many settings. Having the skills to function effectively in emotionally intense, conflicted situations is important for everyone, especially those of who are leaders.
In each workshop, participants will learn the difference between inward (self) and outward (others) mindsets. They will discover where they have been inward and how to turn more outward. They will learn how to turn their mindsets and behaviors outward by applying the following toolsets: self-awareness tools, mindset change tools, accountability tools, and collaboration tools.
