This intensive, life changing programme provides you an immersion in NVC at the same time developing measurable improvements in the relationships that matter most to you. We offer a unique approach to learning combining training, live application of the learning and continuous support throughout the programme and beyond.

Through the programme you will gain significant insights into a selection of important relationships in your life. Maybe these will be your children, life partner, family, friends, work colleagues, neighbours – the choice will be entirely yours. Throughout the 6 months you will set yourself goals and notice clear progress in transforming your relationships according to your values.

You will learn about:

1. Yourself – your triggers; your emotional signals and what they mean; how to change your reactions; asking for what you need; staying connected to yourself even in difficult moments.
2. People who matter most to you – what their needs are; what they really mean and want from you, contributing to their enjoyment of life; supporting them in moments of crisis.
3. Communication ‘Dance’ – creating a deeper quality of connection and mutual understanding, resolving difference and conflicts in ways that are good for all, giving high impact feedback; maintaining dialogue at all times.

The programme is built around Nonviolent Communication and you will learn the approach in a way that will enable you to apply it in all aspects of your life. The programme counts as 12 days towards Certification (10 days face to face plus 2 days online).

WHO YOU ARE

This programme is for you if you are either wanting to learn NVC or wish for more fulfilling relationships at home or at work. Or both. You also wish to work with a group of like minded and hearted people.

PROGRAMME STRUCTURE

There are several, interrelated elements to the learning approach:

Induction meeting – you will meet one of the trainers and be invited to identify 3 relationships in your life where you would like to make progress. These will form the foundation for your learning and also give you a chance to track your progress day by day.

Three face to face workshops in Bucharest of 3 or 4 days each to give you insights, raise your awareness, build community with trainers and participants and provide opportunities to rehearse situations and conversations:

• September 13-15, 2019       Workshop 1 – Your Inner World (3 days)
• November 21-24, 2019       Workshop 2 – The World of Those Around You (4 days)
• January 24-26, 2020          Workshop 3 – Dance of Communication (3 days)

Between workshops you will be supported through:

• structured self managed learning through assignments you will design for yourself
• weekly (minimum) empathy calls with an empathy buddy
• additional materials sent to your email address/dedicated Facebook group
• every 3 weeks a support group (online) hosted by one of the trainers.

The total number of study hours will be in the region of 120 hours.

Language of the programme is ENGLISH.
