Experience the magic of a year-long NVC learning community. It’s all about building community! This Year Training is based on the insights unearthed by CNVC’s New Future Process into community-building and self-organising groups. Learn how to apply the principles and skills of Nonviolent Communication to building community.

There are five, three-day residential modules offered in the spirit of Gift Culture, between October 2023 and June 2024, held at Maitreya House, near Hereford. The fifteen days of the training count towards CNVC certification.

Who is this Year Training for?

This Year Training is open to people who have done an NVC Level One training or equivalent Foundation Training with a certified trainer.

The benefits of a year-long training

• The five modules give a sense of structure and progression.
• The format offers greater depth than one-off workshops.
• We become a community of people living NVC.
