Integrating NVC and Abundance Consciousness: How to create a successful and sustainable NVC livelihood

Our primary intention is to inspire and support people who would like to create a livelihood based on NVC or including NVC. This retreat is designed for people with a basic understanding of NVC and who have had some NVC training experience.

Here's an outline of the content of the retreat:

* Differentiate money (a common strategy) and abundance (the underlying state of consciousness);

* Introduce concepts from the gift economy to people you work with;

* Experiental transformation of core beliefs around money and NVC;

* Organize successful trainings and other events that bring abundant income;

* Enthusiastically promote yourself after releasing self-consciousness and embarrassment;
