Deep Listening: A Compassionate Communication Playshop
2024-02-04 13:00 - 14:30 | Mud Gallery, 123 N Columbus St, Lancaster, OH, 43130, United States
This Playshop focuses on Deep Listening or Empathy, one of the main principles of Compassionate Communication. Empathy is one of the most valuable gifts we possess as humans, the ability to listen deeply to others and to be deeply heard and understood without judgment.

“Deep listening is the kind of listening that can help relieve the suffering of another person. You can call it compassionate listening. You listen with only one purpose: to help him or her to empty his heart.”Thich Nhat Hanh

“Empathy is a respectful understanding of what others are experiencing. Instead of offering empathy, we have a strong urge to give advice or reassurance and to explain our own position or feeling. Empathy, however, calls upon us to empty our mind and listen to others with our whole being.” Marshall B. Rosenberg, founder of the Center for Nonviolent Communication.

1-2 hrs in length depending on the number of people present.

Wall Pockets Pottery Playshop
2024-04-19 18:30 - 20:00 | Mud Gallery, 123 N Columbus St, Lancaster, OH, 43130, United States
What is a wall pocket, you ask? It is a flat-backed decorative yet functional vessel that can be hung on a wall (or in front of a window) and will hold anything that fits inside! Plants, dry flowers, love letters, mail, keys…

What you want it to contain will influence your design. For example, If you want it to hold fresh flowers you don’t want it to leak, and if you want it to be a planter you can add a drainage hole! Fun fact: If you make one to hold your phone it can amplify the sound of music or podcast!

Teresa will demonstrate hand-building methods and guide you in creating a wall pocket! The shape and decorative elements are of your design.

Primitive Mud Pottery Studio will then finish your piece. This will take 2-3 weeks and you will be notified when it is ready to pick up.

Feel free to bring snacks and drinks. BYOB.

Mindful Living with Compassionate Communication
2024-05-05 12:00 - 15:00 | Mud Gallery, 123 N Columbus St, Lancaster, OH, 43130, United States
This is an introduction to Compassionate Communication, also known as Nonviolent Communication®, or NVC.

NVC is a set of principles and practices developed by American Psychologist, Dr. Marshall B. Rosenberg, that help us form mutually beneficial relationships and systems that align action with values and are more likely to result in trust, autonomy, and care for all.

Mindfulness and Compassionate Communication practices help us slow down, get clarity, and increase joy. By developing awareness you can shift from reactivity to conscious choices that serve your well-being and relationships.

You may benefit from Mindful Living practices if

You are unhappy/ you are seeking a more meaningful life.

You feel stuck/ you want to make decisions more easily.

You want to be understood/ you want more satisfaction in your relationships.

You are ready for change/ you are willing to invest in yourself.
