Knowing, Learning, and Connecting - 1 year Nonviolent Communication training
Knowing, Living and Connecting through NVC
Compassion begins with you
This course is based on the skills of Nonviolent Communication (NVC), as pioneered by Marshall Rosenberg. There are four modules held between February and October 2018, each one a residential event held at An Tionól Cottage
- Creative & compassionate living Centre near Gort in county Galway.
The fourteen days of the training count towards CNVC certification. All modules are led by Sinhaketu with Marta Fabregat as host.
What is Nonviolent Communication (NVC)?
NVC was developed on the premise of a simple and powerful question: why do some people continue to act compassionately, even when deeply challenged? NVC, with an extensive international reputation is used in the areas of mediation, parenting, education, conflict resolution, psychotherapy, and social change to name but a few.
Who will benefit?
Open to people of all levels of NVC skill and experience, from beginners to teachers.
What’s on offer?
This is a real opportunity for personal and community transformation, getting to the roots of change and learning how to hold issues with compassionate means through deep listening and sharing in a wonderful community setting with real support.
- Come home to yourself with real inner healing
- Communication skills to improve or transform relationships at home and work.
- Learn to use NVC so you can help and support others.
- Enjoy community and making new friends whilst offering and gaining support & learning
