Nonviolent Communication (NVC) 2-day training

In this dynamic training, we will use real life examples to explore how we can:

• Increase our capacity to engage effectively with others even in challenging situations + long-term dynamics

• Cut the exhausting guesswork by attending to what will really make a difference

• Transform patterns of separation, scarcity and powerlessness into TOGETHERNESS, CHOICE + FLOW

• Stay open, curious and effective when tension arises

• Be in the world with nothing to hide

• Dare to dream and be VISION driven - the most powerful quality of all nonviolent people-led living and change

• Co-create practices that support us to celebrate, mourn and learn from everything that happens as a way to maintain healthy digestion of all that happens in our lives

• Create the support we need to sustain ourselves while attending to what truly matters

• Contribute to others well-being while simultaneously attending to ours

• Maximise readiness to respond to all of life - no matter how it shows up

• Become a valuable resource for our important relationships - by choice

'It's invaluable in enriching relationship.' - Janine Brissett 

'This workshop has left a deep impression on me and has inspired a lot of change in my communication' - Caitlin Wood 2024

'For the last 2 days I have been really attuned to my needs, and the difference is not subtle. Stressful times like getting the kids to bed, are calm and easily negotiated. While I know the problems will not disappear, I am hopeful that this is the start of a new journey for me.' - anon

'Get very clear about the kind of world we would like and then start living that way' - Marshall Rosenberg, founder of NVC

'NVC is interested in learning that is motivated by reverence for life, by a desire to learn skills, to contribute better to our own well-being and the well-being of others.' - Marshall Rosenberg, founder of NVC
