Go beyond the trigger
Many of them helped once. Some still do. Others quietly cost us energy, relationships and calm. The first step is simply to see them.
The stories and images that quietly teach us what success, love and belonging should look like.
Competition, social pressure and the desire to belong can create automatic expectations and reactions.
Beliefs and patterns absorbed at home and in our communities without ever consciously choosing them.
Like Day One of the Satvatove Foundational Workshop, thoughtfully adapted for live, interactive virtual learning.
Sometimes a disagreement sets off an old story before we even notice. We defend, withdraw, blame or try to be right. TFCV is an experiential space to recognise those triggers, explore the beliefs beneath them and practise responding with awareness.
Across six live sessions, we practise presence, clear expression, genuine appreciation, honest feedback and working with emotional charges (grungies).
Concrete skills
Hear what someone is actually saying, not what you expected them to say. Stop fixing, judging and defending long enough to receive.
Grungies are the emotional charges that hijack conversations. Learn to notice them, name them and use them as information instead of weapons.
Give feedback that is direct, caring and useful. Receive feedback without collapsing or defending. Practise both in a safe container.
Notice blame, complaint and helplessness patterns, both yours and the group’s, and practise shifting toward ownership and purposeful next steps.
Conflict is not the problem. Avoidance is. Stay in difficult conversations, hold the tension and work through to real resolution.
Learn what makes a group feel safe enough for real conversation and what quietly destroys it. Build and protect that container as a facilitator and participant.
Programme at a glance
Part 1 is an interactive online programme: six facilitated sessions of up to 2.5 hours each. The practice includes attentive listening, honest expression, clean feedback, working with grungies and conscious responses to conflict.
The online format uses simple yet powerful interactive tools, live partner exercises and small-group work in breakout rooms.
A mix of media brings the experiential spirit of the in-person Foundational Workshop into a highly interactive virtual space. Those who know the Foundational Workshop will recognise familiar exercises and may discover new ways of exploring them online.
The design invites active participation and immersion while leaving room for your own pace and experience.
Participant voices
“I am thankful for this wonderful communication workshop. I will cherish this experience for the rest of my life.”
“One concrete shift I experienced during the three days among others, and that I am already trying to apply, is paying more attention to the other person’s perspective.
I am now more aware that, as a receiver, I may interpret information through my own ‘personal lens’, shaped by my experiences, assumptions and point of view. Even when I feel confident that my interpretation is correct, it is important to actively listen to the other person’s perspective before reaching a conclusion.
This awareness is already helping me to approach communication with greater openness and curiosity.”
