PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

Nonviolent Communication brings healing, harmony and authentic expression to all relationships. It is a beautiful process for developing capacity for empathic connection with others and, of course, ourselves. Many of us know that NVC skills are optimally acquired experientially further, that having an ‘NVC Community’ with which to practice strengthens intention and provides the necessary support to deepen skills. This unique 8-month program is an opportunity for participants to practice NVC with two of Canada’s most experienced NVC trainers and to build community with other committed NVC learners. The focus of the program will be to integrate and enhance NVC consciousness and understanding of the spiritual foundation of NVC, to develop leadership skills, and to support participants to be the agents of change they wish to see in the world.

This highly engaging and interactive program is structured with a series of themes designed to progressively deepen participants’ NVC learning experience. The format offers a variety of new activities and exercises throughout. Learners will journal, work with learning partners, actively participate in NVC interest groups on various topics, and will have opportunity to demonstrate and receive feedback about their NVC teaching skills.

* five 3-day trainings
* individual and group assignments
* skill building and embodiment
* consciousness and spiritual foundation
* community building
* living the change you wish for the world
