COMMUNICATION DOJO CLASSES
Some features of the Communication Dojo practice environment:
- Chances to use your real-life situations to guide experiential learning
- Efficient use of group time to maximize learning
- High proportion of practice time in pairs - learning communication by communicating.
- Minimal "jargon" i.e. language that might be confusing or alienating for those not familiar with NVC.
- Little likelihood of people developing any sense of "Doing it wrong" or "Trying to do it right."
- Mixture of experience levels deepens practice and learning

Practice Exercises
We can practice restorative and connected communication with some exercises designed to simulate real-world situations.
- Observations: Practice making observations in a neutral, descriptive way without including judgements or blame.
- Feelings & Needs: Practice expressing how you're feeling about something and what needs you might feel aren't being met.
- Empathy Guesses: Practice guessing what the other person might be feeling in particular situations and clarifying till you figure it out. This develops familiarity with the Feelings & Needs Inventories and makes it easier to get it right more quickly.
- Making offers & requests: Practice offering and requesting things that would meet both parties' needs for mutual understanding.
Communication Habit Practice
Download the Communication Dojo Communication Habits Sheet.
- List some of your communication habits you use often.
- List some of the listening habits that often bother you.
- Eg. Storytelling. Telling people how you had the same problem or your family member did.
- List some needs they might be fulfilling by using those strategies.
- Have someone share a problem they're having and have everyone practice interrupting and using the habits in response to show all the examples.
- Take turns sharing a non-serious problem scenario and first give habit-based responses for 2 minutes then switch to empathetic listening where you ask questions like "I hear you saying that when you saw X happen you felt Y because you need Z and its difficult to feel like you're getting Z..."
