Let's learn to approach potentially hard conversations with zerizut (energy, alacrity, readiness)!
Is there a conversation in your life that you are avoiding? Or a conversation you have had, maybe more than once, but it doesn’t go well? Elul is the perfect time to gain new skills, and when possible, to show up to try to repair disconnections and to start the new year fresh. The middah of zerizut, Nefesh’s focus for this High Holy Days, also comes to say: let’s get to it, let’s do it, let’s hasten to show up.
In this workshop, we’ll learn new skills for showing up with zerizut for potentially hard conversations. Drawing from the teachings of Nonviolent Communication, the workshop will offer support for finding new avenues to approach potentially difficult conversations, including both large and small group work and time for private reflection.
Because so many of us have enjoyed her teaching over the years, we’ve invited Kathy Simon, Nefesh Kin from Oakland, to be back with us. Please sign up with zerizut and to embody zerizut— we think you’ll be engaged, invigorated, and feel more resourced as we approach the new year.
