[IN-PERSON] Implementing Nonviolence in the Systems in Which We Live

A Nonviolent Communication Workshop 1-2 November (9:00-12:00 & 13:30-17:30)

With Marco Bertaglia and Senovio Shish
This is a workshop on Nonviolent Communication (NVC) as developed by Marshall Rosenberg.

NVC was created to enable a more peaceful world, to transition from systems of domination to systems of full collaboration where all needs of all people are cared for. Along the journey of systems change, nonviolent agents of change can expect to encounter a range of responses from within domination paradigms they seek to change. This workshop is intended to support further integration of NVC to reconnect with greater resilience and hope for bringing about systems that work for all.

We will work in very practical ways to enhance our resilience and ability to work with and within groups, in ways that support togetherness, choice and shared power.

Among themes that we will deepen the following are included:
- dialogical systems
- support
- mourning the gap between vision and reality
- group facilitation
- an economy that works for all?

About Marco:
For over 25 years I’ve been a trainer in Nonviolent Communication, mediator, and facilitator of group processes. My journey with NVC began in 2000 and has profoundly transformed my life, including years of direct learning with Marshall Rosenberg. I work with and for children, couples, families, communities, ecovillages, and organizations, offering personal coaching and trainings inspired by the gift economy. My work weaves communication, community, and social transformation in the spirit of nonviolence envisioned by Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. Read more at [https://www.cnvc.org/trainers/marco-bertaglia ](https://www.cnvc.org/trainers/marco-bertaglia )

About Senovio:
I was raised with values of peace, justice, truth-telling and deep listening as a practicing Quaker (Religious Society of Friends) since childhood. While engaging in anti-racism work, I found Nonviolent Communication in 2018 with the NVC Geneva practice group, and felt a profound resonance with my values. I am committed to systems change through community-building as a way of responding to the crisis of violence among humans and the threat of collapse of the global ecosystem. I include non-human animals in my peace efforts, and have practiced veganism since 2019. I am currently a candidate to become a certified trainer with CNVC.
