Join NVC Certified trainers Mary Goyer and Kristin Masters for the second annual Spring Retreat for seasoned practioners.

This is not a beginner workshop. It’s an annual return—to depth, to community, and to living NVC as a consciousness, not a technique.

Together, we’ll explore:
⚖️ How personal and systemic patterns shape our relationships and use of power
🕊️ Tender work with shame, shadow, and life-alienating beliefs
🧩 Moving beyond OFNR into an integrated, embodied practice
🫶 Building beloved community through honesty, trust, and shared care

All held in the redwood forest, with time for empathy, play, art, silence, and rest—plus nourishing meals prepared onsite.

(And if you're more of a beginner, we have an event in April that might be perfect for you, too!)

📅 February 27 – March 3, 2026
🌲 Santa Cruz Mountains | In-person | Small, experienced group
⚠️ Designed for intermediate/advanced practitioners

If your NVC practice has been quietly asking for renewal, depth, and companionship—this may be your invitation.

We’d love to gather with you again.
