"Empowered Communication" is the second in a six-part Foundations Program that gives a solid grounding in the practice of Nonviolent Communication. Each course includes 20 hours of training, is limited to 18 participants (other NVC courses we offer, such as at the NY Open Center, include up to 40), and most courses (depending on class size) have one-two assistant trainers to maximize the level of coaching and support each participant receives. The program is interactive and makes use of diverse learning modalities, including exercises, games, role plays, and pair work; between classes, participants are asked to complete reading, exercises at home, and to meet briefly (usually ten minutes) by phone with an empathy buddy to practice what they've learned in class that week. We consistently receive celebratory emails about the Foundations Program, with participants expressing delight with the level of modeling, learning, integration and community they experience. Come join us for this unique experience!

The deposit you make for this program to hold your place is non-refundable. The balance of the course fee, once the start date of the course has passed, is also non-refundable; this fee, under some conditions, can be transferred to another BNVC program within 12 months, with the payment of an additional deposit to hold your place for the new program.
