What we’re about
This group hosts events aimed at developing Nonviolent Communication (NVC) skills and consciousness, and creating community, based on the work and legacy of Marshall B. Rosenberg and his seminal book, 'Nonviolent Communication: a Language of Life'. It’s a place for community gatherings, peer practice sessions, training and more, run by NVC enthusiasts and sometimes London-based trainers certified by the Centre for Nonviolent Communication (https://www.cnvc.org). If inspired you are welcome to offer NVC-themed learning or social events.
Pathways to learning NVC
If you’d like to learn NVC via formal training, facilitated by London-based CNVC-certified trainers, then hop over to the London Page of the NVC-UK website and find out about the training pathway put together by Ceri Buckmaster, Cath Burke, Carolyn Davies, Daren De Witt, Pauline Doohan and Tracy Seed. We fund this page and are committed to creating community and a supportive network for those learning, living and sharing NVC in London. Many of our trainings are currently online, so if you live outside of London, you are welcome to participate.
