A 5 day in-person residential event
with a team of Certified NVC Trainers including Peggy Smith
Whether you're completely new to NVC or have some experience and want to deepen your practice, this training meets you where you are. It's designed especially for beginner and intermediate NVC practitioners who want to communicate with more clarity, empathy, and effectiveness - at home, at work, or in their wider community.
with Leah Boyd, Certified traininer with the Center for Nonviolent Communication
Many of us have experienced the world of feedback as uncomfortable terrain that we are navigating without a map. So let’s demystify it! In this training we will share a “map” along with skills that can help feedback be useful and supportive whether we are on the giving or the receiving end of the equation.
Immersive training with certified trainers Peggy Smith, Kathleen Macferran, Rodrigo Suarez & River Dunavin
Whether you're just beginning your NVC journey, have been practicing for years, or are already sharing NVC with others, you'll find a place here. Through experiential learning, small-group practice, reflection, and genuine human connection, you'll deepen not only your understanding of NVC, but your capacity to embody it in everyday life.

An intermediate level yearlong program
with Certified Trainers Peggy Smith & Leah Boyd
In this experiential Nonviolent Communication program our journey will lead to embodiment and deepening of NVC awareness and skills. Led by Peggy Smith and Leah Boyd, experienced certified NVC teachers and practitioners, participants will have the opportunity to shift from simply understanding NVC as a concept to living from NVC consciousness. Month by month, a strong and vibrant learning community forms as participants practice deeply together during sessions and in practice groups between sessions.
with Certified trainer Leah Boyd
In this 4 hour training delivered in two 2-hour sessions Leah will share her “best practices” for supporting groups in times of challenge, based on 15 years of facilitating and mediating in a wide range of settings and circumstances.
