With human needs as the central focus, imagine three experienced NVC trainers supporting you with a wide range of styles, practice and patience. You have time to deepen your NVC skills to gain knowledge and fluency, developing compassion and empathy for yourself and others from a place of empowerment.
Your trainers are:
Marianne Louise Towe

Louise Romain: Lives in France. Known for her lively yet sensitive approach, Louise offers NVC public courses all over Europe plus coaching and mediation for individuals and couples, focussing on inner transformation.

Mixing serious and playful ways to learn and share NVC, Marianne, Louise and Towe offer a trusting and safe environment in which to explore, grow and integrate compassionate principles into your everyday life.
Here are a few experiences that participants our Greek retreat 2008 have shared with us. We hope they inspire you and help you connect to the value of participating in this programme:

Exploring our different, unique experiences and growing from our interdependence, our intention is to focus on each of these themes during the three intensive modules:
inner work - peaceful dialogue - social change in community

More about the programme;Built in collaboration with you and using situations from your life where you'd like to find different ways to relate and dialogue, we place strong emphasise on applying NVC with yourself first, then in dialogue with others and the world around you. This programme is firmly anchored in how to create an atmosphere of confidence and trust which characterises NVC attitudes and values.This program includes the following aspects:
an opportunity to study intensively with a committed community of practitioners over an extended period of time
activities designed to enhance your understanding of NVC, your capacity to live it, even in sticky situations, and, for those who want to, skills in sharing NVC with others
studying with others who already have extensive NVC experience
supporting you to find your own personal style and expressions in different situations, so this course is also of interest to those who share or plan to share NVC with others.
We primarily focus on practical training, such as self-empathy and connecting empathically with others, to express yourself with honesty even in challenging situations and to polish the ways you use NVC in relationship to the balance between yourself and others.
This programme is of special interest to those of you who are pursuing certification.
We also explore:
when to listen?
when to interrupt?
when to express with strong energy?
how to end a dialogue?
how to create working conditions that are based on mutuality and autonomy?
how to clarify different key distinctions and how they affect and are affected by a democratic society?
situations when you want to comprehend mutuality in the roles as children/adults, leaders/co-workers, teacher/students
how to stand for NVC-values when the frames are given and the freedom restricted as in rule-driven organisations?
using the group process to implement and learn NVC together
In addition to the three intensive modules, the programme also offers :
frequent contact with the community of learners (monthly)
empathy contact with a participant of your choice (weekly)
different activities between the modules to help you keep the growing going!
