5 Day NVC Retreat @ Windtree in the Santa Cruz Mountains

Join trainers Jean Morrison and Christine King in the Santa Cruz Mountains at the private retreat center, WindTree; for immersion in NVC skills and practices as well as rest, relaxation, and fun.

Participants will have the opportunity to learn NVC principles and practices as they enrich their capacity for compassion, connection, and understanding. In addition to Jean and Christine as trainers, we have support team members for assistance in the workshops, and individual attention during the retreat. The workshops each day use a wide variety of teaching/learning modalities: large group didactic, paired and small group interactive exercises, role modeling, written exercises, materials and resources - all with a wide dimension of serious to fun. We co-create an environment of safety, trust, belonging, and acceptance...where learning thrives!

WindTree is located an hour south of Santa Cruz, up on Summit Road, on 50 acres. This is the 10th time we have used this retreat center and we keep coming back for the simple, rustic beauty, the peace and quiet, the spirit of the land, and the opportunity to contribute to the care and sustainability of WindTree.

Retreat participants will be joining a small group of folks currently enrolled in the half-year Integration and Immersion Program (IIP).
Our hope in bringing together the IIP participants and the retreat participants is that we are making it possible for more people to have this opportunity to learn and integrate NVC in this special way; as well as make it financially feasible in these economic times for programs like these to be offered.
