FOUNDATION TRAINING: BUILD SKILLS FOR HONEST, CONNECTED COMMUNICATION
With a fabulous team of Certified NVC Trainers,
including Peggy Smith
Learn the practical skills that transform how you communicate: with yourself, your family, your colleagues, and your community.
WHAT YOU'LL WALK AWAY WITH
This 5-day training gives you a clear, practical toolkit for navigating everyday conversations and conflicts with more honesty, less blame, and deeper connection. You'll learn to:
See situations clearly, without the judgments that fuel disconnection
Identify what you're really feeling – and what's underneath it
Recognize the universal human needs driving your reactions (and everyone else's)
Make requests that can be heard, instead of demands that trigger defensiveness
Listen in a way that helps people experience being understood, including yourself
Express difficult truths honestly, without attacking or shutting down
A FOUNDATION ROOTED IN DECADES OF PRACTICE
Our team of Certified Trainers will guide you through the foundational skills of Nonviolent Communication (NVC) as developed by Dr. Marshall Rosenberg — a practical framework used worldwide by individuals, families, schools, workplaces, and communities seeking more compassionate ways to connect.
WHO THIS IS FOR
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.
WHAT THE EXPERIENCE IS LIKE
Over 5 days, you'll learn through real practice, not just theory: live demonstrations, small group exercises, and supportive feedback from experienced trainers and fellow participants. Groups stay small enough for genuine connection while large enough to learn from a rich diversity of perspectives.
