Podcast: İçim Dışım Bir /Konuk: Pınar Kurtoğlu

Hello. You are in a space where your inner voice and the face you project outward smile at each other. This is "My Inner and Outer Self Are One." Sometimes we clash with ourselves, sometimes with those closest to us, sometimes with the system we live in, and sometimes with nature. Yet, even amidst these experiences that separate us, it is possible to remain centered and reconnect. We are here to look at life through this different window offered by Nonviolent Communication. If you are ready to join us, let's begin. Our guest in this podcast series, where CNVC Center Nonviolent Communication Trainers and Trainer Candidates share their experiences, is Pınar Kurtoğlu. In this episode, Pınar shares how her path intersected with Nonviolent Communication while she was searching for solutions in a communication that left her breathless, and the gifts of this journey. 05:10 How can we preserve the 'ground of togetherness'? 06:45 The experience of Şi and Okul Peteği made me think, ‘This is what a heartfelt flow based on giving looks like.’ 11:02 I remember thinking, ‘I can’t be the first person to search for ‘nonviolent communication’ when I typed it into the search engine.’ 15:10 I was very impressed by the concept and experience of ‘learning together.’ 16:30 When I felt the value of listening to someone's needs in a moment of conflict… 18:57 The part about ‘Repairing Relationships’ touched me the most. 24:20 I found powerful tools to create a foundation for transparency in difficult moments. 30:10 I can’t hear you right now – how wonderful it is to say my capacity is full. 35:00 For ways to make structural adjustments that I can’t do alone… She conveys these with the titles. Wishing you a pleasant meeting.
