Clergy Conference 2018

September 17, 2018 @ 12:00 pm - September 19, 2018 @ 12:00 pm

Join us at the Mission San Luis Rey for the 2018 Clergy Conference!  This year’s theme is “Compassionate Communication in These Times.”

Keynote speaker Allan Rohlfs will share his knowledge with us on Monday evening and Tuesday morning. Allan is a psychotherapist with over 35 years of experience and is a certified NonViolent Communication trainer. NonViolent Communication (NVC) is a model for transforming any relationship or conversation, including the most difficult, into harmonious and caring conversations.

“Most of us when confronted with another’s offensive behavior are limited in methods to influence the other to change,” Rohlfs notes. “After asking politely we don’t know what to do, except to get angry, be sarcastic, threaten, call them names, coerce them in some way, or put up with it. This approach offers an alternative. It teaches you how to convey your negative reaction to someone or to hear their negative reaction to you in a way that transforms the communication from blame and punishment to openness and understanding. Frequently it works like magic—even though it is difficult to do and usually requires much practice! Referred to as the language of the heart, NVC teaches how to disclose elements of reaction, which at first are not apparent even to ourselves, elements which are inherently both honest and at the same time non-accusatory. So from the outset the climate is non-threatening. And the response elicited is one of understanding rather than one of defensiveness.”
