Are you new to NVC and want to get a solid foundation in using it effortlessly?

Or are you already familiar with the practices of self-empathy, empathy, and self-expression but you want to go beyond the basics and begin to live compassionate communication, unconditionally?
Or perhaps you are curious about participating in intermediate or advanced NVC programs offered locally, through the NVC Academy, or other NVC organizations but want to be sure you have the skills you’ll need to make the most of these experiences?

If so, consider participating in the Learning NVC Program being offered again in the Metro DC area beginning in March 2012.

This immersion program is designed for people who are NVC beginners as well as for those familiar with NVC principles who would like support in turning these into a daily lived reality. We will meet for workshops on alternating weekends for 8 weeks, for a total of 5 full- or half-day workshops (see time listing, above). During these trainings we will learn and practice basic NVC skills and become fluent in hearing and speaking what Marshall Rosenberg, NVC’s creator, calls “the language of the heart.”

Program activities will include presentations; full group, triad, and dyad exercises/games/processes; guided awareness practices, and individual journaling. We will explore compassionate communication through all of our senses, and our processes will include active play as well as quiet internal work. This program is designed to be fun as well as meaningful! An additional component of this program is that participants will be paired for short weekly telephone practice sessions.

The cost to participate in the Learning NVC Program is $350-$700, sliding scale (you decide the highest amount you can contribute easily and joyfully). We are happy to arrange payment plans if this will enable you to participate or to contribute higher on the scale. Applicants must have attended at least 4 hours of prior NVC training such as the “Compassionate Communication" workshop scheduled for January 8, 2012.
