Feedback is a gift,

but it doesn't always feel like it 💛

Most of us have a fear of giving and receiving feedback, largely due to early life and professional experiences of unkind criticism, chronically unmet needs, and a fear of telling someone that they're "bad"/hearing that we did something "wrong".

Feedback has the power to improve and deepen the health of all relationships - familial relationships, romantic relationships, professional relationships. 

The two factors which can change the game in this equation are how feedback is delivered and how feedback is received.

Through this course, you will learn tools to deliver tough feedback with kindness, clarity, and gentleness.

You will learn how to receive feedback with openness, discernment, and grace.

This course may be for you if:

  • You'd like to feel less anxiety and more calm when you give someone negative feedback.

  • You tend to get into arguments when you're telling people what you need and would prefer to feel ease in these conversations.

  • You shut down or become insecure when someone gives you constructive feedback and would prefer to receive this information in a healthier, more confident way.

  • You assume that feedback means something is "wrong" and want to get better at collaboratively improving relationships that matter to you.

  • You are in a supervisory role and want to improve your ability to give feedback that encourages growth and confidence.

Testimonials from previous workshops:

Laila Makled

I was able to learn tools that supported me in navigating my own interpersonal conflict, as well as supporting others in conflict with folks they care about. We learned so many tools that I will absolutely be using and reflecting on for a long time. Meendachi's facilitation style and ability to create spaciousness provided a soothing and supportive learning environment.

Aayaan

If you are called to one of Meenadchi's containers, trust yourself, because you are absolutely in the right place. They are a soft force, to be invited into your life and to resource your growth. Meenadchi's course on DNVC for BIPOC practitioners is the most authentic, balanced, grounding and nourishing course I have ever taken. I received a depth of knowledge, skills, practice time, and reverence for both expressing my needs and consent. Thank you, Meenadchi, for sharing your gifts and for inviting us to share ours.

Alli Myatt

After 10 weeks, I am walking away with clear tools to support myself and others to engage in conflict using NVC with a decolonized lens, I have increased my capacity for more empathy for others, and a better understanding how our relationships can support our needs. The greatest gift is one I didn't see coming - I have so much more compassion for myself and my needs.

Vanessa C.

I am so grateful for how Meenadchi creates spaces where learning skills and experiencing transformative connection are simultaneous. In every session, I received both practical tools and a sense of the ineffable beauty that comes when people take care of each other.

Kimberly Joy

Learning the language to talk about needs and feelings and recognizing those in my body has been transformative. I feel like I am able to give myself more space and be more patient with my needs and in turn be more patient and give space to other folks.

Nakia

Meenadchi's knowledge of DNVC, antioppressive lenses and deep love for humanity combine to create a space in which people can be seen, held, practice vulnerability, honesty connection, and reflect on their own truths in embodied integrity. They are a spectacular guide and their workshops will change your life & the way you relate to yourself and others. You might even be lucky enough to make and keep new friends from the class. Whatever dollar cost you invest in this class will be worth it.

I loved being a part of Decolonizing Non-Violent Communication! Meenadchi holds space in a way that invites deep safety, clarity and depth.
