This course is based on the skills of Nonviolent Communication (NVC), as pioneered by Marshall Rosemberg.
There are four modules held between February and September 2019, each one a residential event held at An Tionol Cottage - Creative & Compassionate Living Centre near Gort in county Galway.

Trauma, vulnerability, distressed, sad, raw places and nvc

We all have our edges of challenge, we don’t necessarily need to be in touch with Trauma! This Year will provide you with extensive approaches to create resilience, creativity, safety and forward flow in your life.
Shifting from Trauma Informed Care to Healing Centred Engagement, NVC offers a paradigm for Community and connection to play its role needed in depth Healing, allowing for a nurturing safety to grow where we can be supported and enabled to have a safe and spacious inner relationship.

Unique to the process is Simon with his extensive NVC experience who also draws and shares from his own journey from trauma to a safe and spacious grounded way of being.

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.

Facilitiator Profiles: Simon McKibbin and Marta Fabregat

Simon ‘K2’ McKibbin
Cambridge University Mindfulness Associate & Certified Mindfulness Trainer. Certified NVC Trainer. BFA Certified Focusing Teacher

I met Marshal Rosenberg in 2004 and was moved by watching him being empathic with a person who was in severe distress - concluding with a sense of deeper healing and calm. On the basis of this meaningful and deep experience I became inspired to commit myself to the path of certification in NVC.
I believe NVC learning should be fun as well as meaningful for individual growth and deep community experience. I am also a certified trainer in the fields of Mindfulness and Focusing with 30 years of personal practise.
Combining elements of Focusing and Mindfulness into the program adds a richness and depth allowing for a more embodied and deeper NVC experience.

Marta Fabregat
MA Social & Community Mediator Skills. Plant and Herbal Medicine Specialist. Facilitator at An Tionól Creative & Compassionate Living Centre

I trained as a social mediator, and in conflict resolution, community development and facilitation. I love hosting - holding a space, and healing in nature gives this course an exciting blend of elements to accompany the NVC process as a community adventure.

An Tionól Cottage´s natural environment, with a strong presence of an Irish oak forest and its respectful approach to learning, is the vessel that holds us together as a community. It is our intention to continue opening space for new, fresh ways of communicating, connecting and being in the world.
