"The Living Energy of Needs" supports the ongoing development of
foundational NVC skills and consciousness. In addition to supporting
core NVC skills, we have continued to develop our training over the
past five years to help participants practically access and live from
a deeper dimension of needs. We weave the experience of the living
energy of needs throughout the training, as the core dimension from
which we learn and live the NVC process.

In the words of recent participants…

“This is a totally new dimension of NVC that I never knew existed.  It
really resonates with my spiritual experiences.”

“I’ve been practicing NVC for 3 years and I am excited about the way your
training is touching into a level of depth that is unexpected.  Now I
can experience needs not as something lacking, but as a fullness.”

“I’ve been dealing with this issue for years, and today, for the first time,
using  this simple process [of transforming a core jackal belief with
the living energy of needs] I felt complete freedom with respect to
this limiting core belief.”

Join “The Living Energy of Needs” to strengthen your NVC skills and
deepen your ability to access the consciousness and life enriching
energy of needs beyond the simple identification of them. 

The training will include opportunities to:

• Identify your current strengths and growing edges in the application of NVC in your daily life
• Learn an in depth process for self connection that transforms pain into life-supporting energy
• Understand the core belief structures that shape our experience and perception and see their relationship to needs
• Receive feedback and coaching on structured presentations
• Deepen your understanding of the domination and partnership paradigms and the role of needs in each paradigm
• Understand the spiritual foundation of NVC
• Learn and live with a dynamic community of people who share a life-serving vision

Benefits of this Training:

1. An Intensive Retreat Experience
   Immerse yourself in the NVC consciousness.
   Renew and refresh your spirit.
   Connect with others who are seeking to live from this way of understanding our experience.
2. Concentrated NVC Processing and Growth
   What are your unique challenges in living the process?
   In what situations do you find yourself responding in ways you don't like? Or simply not knowing how to respond?

   This retreat will offer focused opportunities to identify these
   situations and to do the work to experience the shifts that will take
   each of us to the next level of NVC consciousness.

   Sample topics include: dealing with reactive triggers, staying
   connected with yourself in tough situations, dealing with emotional
   intensity (including anger), and giving and receiving honest feedback.

3. Coached Practice in Sharing NVC (primarily for those already facilitating & teaching)
   • Get a chance to practice your skills in
     • Teaching
     • Leading / facilitating groups and/or
     • Mediation.
   • Learn by doing with coaching and guidance
   • Tailor your practice to the level and type of challenge you want, whatever your level of experience.
   • Receive
     individualized feedback on your unique strengths and opportunities for
     learning at this point on your NVC journey from these four very
     experienced trainers and mediators.
4. Support for a Variety of Learning Styles

While the majority of the workshop is designed to provide experiential
learning, there will also be opportunities for those who enjoy learning
by observation, and those who benefit from enhanced conceptual
understanding of the principles that underlie NVC.

For those who were left wanting more of the types of experiences created in our Advanced Trainings - here it is!

We look forward to co-creating this training with you!

Bloc 2: April 24th-26th 
Bloc 3: June 12th-14th
Bloc 4: August 7th-9th
Additional practice: September 25th-27th

Purpose: This programme is designed for those who want to go further in their NVC skills and practice, who want to feel at ease using the NVC process to facilitate formal mediations.

Objectives:
The objective of NVC mediation is for the mediator to create and maintain connection with the mediating parties so as to facilitate the parties establishing or re-establishing connection between themselves. This can lead to the parties generating agreements and solutions that are agreeable to all.

The objective of this training programme is to acquire and develop the necessary skills to create, maintain and facilitate a space within which this can take place.

Clientele: people who’ve taken a minimum of 5 days of NVC training with certified trainers, who are already committed to integrating NVC into their lives.

Core Mediation Training Programme topics - Development of NVC skills necessary to facilitate NVC mediation, such as:

• Quality of presence and awareness;
• Empathic verbal reformulation;
• Emergency empathy and self-empathy, etc.

 Development of facilitation skills necessary to enhance effectiveness of the process, such as:

• Preliminary meetings;
• Establishing and maintaining an environment in which the parties will feel safe;
• Establishing basic agreements and process, etc.

The training is highly experiential. Every participant will have the chance to facilitate mediations and get both support and feedback.

On this residential training we will practise how to self-empathise as a way to get clarity before expressing yourself and to be honest and authentic in the following ways:

• How to say 'Yes' and 'No' in a way that invites people to listen
• Staying in touch with myself and the other person in a close relationship
• Receiving "No!!!" with empathy
• How to hear the 'Yes' behind the 'No'

Fee: $375, including accommodation in comfortable, shared bedrooms and simple, tasty, vegetarian food. Early signup discount $340 if received by October 10, 2008. If you find it difficult to imagine coming for financial reasons, we are happy to negotiate this amount.

One week intensive experience of living the NVC spirit.

See what happens in a group if everyone is fully honest from their heart .
Spend a week in a safe & challenging environment - with people who
have a strong intention to integrate NVC into their everyday life and

This Advanced NVC training is for You if:

You have a strong intention to practice honesty and empathy
You have at least 10 days of previous training with an NVC certified trainer.
You are excited to offer at least one NVC session during the week.

Finances: If we receive tuition of 250 Euros for each participant it
would cover the costs of organizing the training and running it. Keep
in mind that some people in Eastern Europe need support for travel
costs and accommodation – so we are asking those that can give more to
provide 500 to 1100 Euros to support those who have no possibility to
cover their costs,
370 PLN/ 7 night accommodation & food (about 120 Euro)

Main language: English

Program facilitator: Eva Rambala

in the last 7 years I have put my heart and most of my time and energy
to spread peace in Eastern Europe in the form of teaching NVC. Because
of my good luck I got the chance to travel and meet NVC people from
completely different cultures. I would like to offer this possibility
to other people as well. So in this training you will get the chance
not just to be among experienced NVC folks but to experience how it
works for people with total different backgrounds.

We are going to use some elements of Open Space, Sociocratic decision making

Explore and deepen your facility with the gentle, compassionate
and connecting heart of Nonviolent Communication (NVC). You will find your NVC
skills and consciousness leap ahead naturally and comfortably from a week-long
immersion in the caring community of the NY Intensive Residential Training in
NVC. Because a new team of trainers is formed each year, many participants
return year after year.

• Learn to express yourself in ways that you will be more fully
  heard.

• Heal the pain of conflict and lack of deep connection with
  loved ones.

• Increase joy in communication with co-workers, community
  members and friends.

• Discover inner peace, cooperation, and caring in your
  relationships.

• Dissolve enemy images while working for a more just and
  compassionate world.

• Uncover the human motives behind painful choices and discover
  effective action to meet pressing needs

People rave about the warmth, growth and learning in previous
NY Intensives (see
testimonials). We are confident that you will gain similarly from the 5th NY
IRT. We have invited certified trainers from the CNVC network to form a team
with a broad range of learning styles and areas of specialization. Collectively,
they bring over 50 years of training experience.

Prerequisites: The NY IRT is
designed to accommodate the needs of persons at beginning, intermediate and
advanced levels in NVC (see below for description of format). Though there are
no prerequisites, beginners will find their experience is enriched by reading
Nonviolent Communication by Marshall B. Rosenberg in advance of
attending and by participating in the Fundamentals track for the first three
days of training. Intermediate and advanced training sessions are offered at
every session starting with the first day.

Format: For beginners and persons
wanting thorough coverage of the foundational NVC skills, a Special Track in NVC
Fundamentals is offered at each session during the first three days. We
recommend that those participants who have not had at least two days of training
with a certified trainer take advantage of the Special Track programming. A
variety of offerings of more advanced programming will also be available
starting with the first day for those who begin the intensive with a thorough
understanding of the fundamentals.

Exploring the tools and consciouness of empathy, honesty, and self-connection in the context of our relationships - with partners, family, friends and associates, and even our enemies in order to:

* foster freedom rather than submission or rebellion

* ask for what you want without paying for it later

* heal, create, and sustain life-enriching relationships

* establish relationships based on an awareness of mutuality

* listen compassionately, even when the other person is demanding, blaming, or chriticizing

*nurture connection and trust in all types of relationships!

A Telephone Course (Telecourse) with CNVC Certified Trainer Miki Kashtan, Author and Co-founder of Bay Area Nonviolent Communication and the North America NVC Leadership Program, from Oakland, California, USA

"The Heart of the Matter" is one session that will be repeated two different days/times in an effort to accommodate the worldwide NVC community. Miki suggests taking both sessions because the class is so interactive, that different topics will arise and be explored in the two classes.

Tuesday, June 24, 2008 • 9:30 - 11:30 AM PDT
Tuesday, July 1, 2008 • 6:00 - 8:00 PM PDT

* Do you want to increase your capacity to identify and connect with feelings and needs?
* Would you like to enhance your ability to translate judgments?

Many people experience tremendous hope for connection and a richer life when they encounter NVC, and often become discouraged after awhile as they attempt to integrate their excitement into usable skills. In particular, people often struggle with identifying and working with feelings and needs, and remain disconnected from need words even when able to identify them.

In this telecourse you will learn tips for how to identify and connect with feelings and needs, both your own and others’. The focus of this class is on skill more so than the depth of NVC consciousness we want to bring to our practice.

In this class you’ll learn skills and practices to:

* Identify your basic feeling “flavor” and increase your fluency with feeling words

* Recognize the needs hidden within hard-to-hear messages

* Focus on naming the full specificity of the need you notice

* Tune in to your body to sense when connection has been made

"Miki, I really admire the way you are able to be so present in the moment and are able to respond so well to what you see and sense. Just watching you in action makes this course worthwhile to me." — S.G., Litchfield, Connecticut, USA

Fee: $19 USD: All registrants receive access to a recording of the course.

WHAT ARE CORE BELIEFS:

They are foundational ideas which shape our experience and thus the quality of our lives. They generally contribute to, or even lock us into ongoing pain, and can manifest at any moment as a "jackal" reaction. Living unconsciously from these foundational beliefs can block us from fully living joyfully. Once we become aware of this system of beliefs and its impact on our lives, we are able to create new possibilities of freedom and clearer choices to live from our hearts and from the authenticity of our souls. Participants will be supported to identify beliefs in some basic areas, such as: Scarcity/Abundance … Struggle/Ease … High self value/Low self value … Safety/Danger … Win-Win/Win-Lose

Optional early morning yoga sessions, and some evening sessions including movement, Yoga, or Relaxation will be offered by Rhonda Mills.
