Save the Date!
Courageous Communication in Alexandria -- September 26-27, 2026
- Are you looking for ways to maintain a sense of internal capacity and balance while showing up with integrity for your friends, family, and community?
- Do you wish for more meaningful connections with others?
- Does the political climate have you reaching for ways to make sense of things, break out of cynicism, and find ways to connect even when you don’t agree?
Join us for a weekend of Nonviolent Communication in Alexandria, VA! In this 1.5-day retreat, we’ll cultivate community while offering skills, tools, and practices to help you foster more connection, navigate conflict, and tap into your inner sense of meaning and purpose. This retreat includes breakout sessions that follow two tracks—one for those new to NVC (or wanting a refresher) and another for more experienced practitioners. In addition, we’ll support both integration and an embodied sense of connection with sessions that incorporate rhythm, movement, and song.
Topics include:
- Creating meaningful connection with yourself and others
- Shifting out of judgments with clarity and care
- Turning wishes into real requests
- Expressing regret, and attending to repair
- Attending to both personal and systemic dynamics with compassion
- Building resilience and capacity
What’s distinctive about this NVC retreat?
- Breakouts let you tailor your learning to your experience level, while full-community sessions offer accompaniment and new connections
- Rhythm, music, and movement leverage the power of play to build shared community and support integration (no experience necessary!)
- A joyful, caring teaching team that will hold all needs with care
