What if your hardest conversations felt… steadier?
What if saying “no” didn’t feel like rejection—but like honesty with care?
What if conflict didn’t spiral— but became a doorway to understanding?
That’s what we’ll be practicing together at the Santa Cruz Spring NVC Retreat.

This five-day, beginner-friendly immersion is designed for people who are new to Nonviolent Communication—or ready to finally live it, not just learn about it.

Together, we’ll explore:
✨ How to speak your truth with care
✨ How to set boundaries without guilt or blame
✨ How to navigate conflict with empathy and confidence
✨ How to repair ruptures instead of avoiding them

All held in the redwoods, with nourishing meals, creative exploration, and plenty of space to rest and integrate.

📅 April 17–21, 2026 | Santa Cruz Mountains
🌿 Beginner-friendly | Small group | Multiple lodging options

You’ll leave grounded, clearer, and supported—by skills you can actually use, and a community that understands why this work matters.

We’d love to have you with us. Click here to register.
Spaces are limited, and they’re filling.
