PROGRAM DESCRIPTION Nonviolent Communication brings healing, harmony and authentic expression to all relationships. It is a beautiful process for developing capacity for empathic connection with others - and, of course, ourselves. Many of us know that NVC skills are optimally acquired experientially - further, that having an 'NVC Community' with which to practice strengthens intention and provides the necessary support to deepen skills. This unique 8-month program is an opportunity for participants to practice NVC with two of Canada's most experienced NVC trainers and to build community with other committed NVC learners. The focus of the program will be to integrate and enhance NVC consciousness and understanding of the spiritual foundation of NVC, to develop leadership skills, and to support participants to be the agents of change they wish to see in the world.This highly engaging and interactive program is structured with a series of themes designed to progressively deepen participants' NVC learning experience. The format offers a variety of new activities and exercises throughout. Learners will journal, work with learning partners, actively participate in NVC interest groups on various topics, and will have opportunity to demonstrate and receive feedback about their NVC teaching skills.

“For several months, Penny met with my ex-partner and I while we were dealing with the painful process of redefining our relationship. She helped transform our despair and confusion by clarifying feelings that were alive in us, needs we wanted met, and strategies that fostered increased honesty and harmony in our relationship. She supported us in ways that deeply met needs for mutuality, empathy, growth, and healing. I believe the tenderness and trust that (my ex-partner) and I experience in our friendship and co-parenting connection today has much to do with the quality of support and guidance we experienced with Penny many months ago. Penny, it seems, simply makes it easier for people to remember how much they yearn to love and to be loved, and to behave in ways that are most likely to manifest that.” |
