The course moves through five steps: meeting the real cost of polarization; seeing the system that speeds it up (media, algorithms, cultural and educational gaps); understanding what happens in the body and brain under tension; finding the needs beneath the trigger; and becoming a depolarizing presence in everyday life and on social media. Hosted by Racheli Zohar with a supporting empathy team, with guest masterclasses by Ceri Buckmaster and Sarah Peyton (the polarized nervous system). After the course, the Depolarization Lab continues as an ongoing community of practice. Price: sliding scale 320 to 600 USD. Group pricing for two or more. Scholarships available, especially for participants from the global majority. ### Related - [ **Norway 2027** (International Intensive Training) ](https://www.cnvc.org/learn/iit/2027-07-30-iit-norway) - [ **Online Intensive 2025** (International Intensive Training) ](https://www.cnvc.org/learn/iit/2025-10-17-iit-online) - [ **NVC Learning Community - Year long programme** (Trainer Event 02-20-2027) ](https://www.cnvc.org/learn/events/nvc-learning-community-year-long-programme-2027-02-20-17-00-00) - [ **Norway IIT 2027** (Trainer Event 07-30-2027) ](https://www.cnvc.org/learn/events/norway-iit-2027-2027-07-30-15-00-00) - [ **Keep your NVC fit: Role Play practice** (Trainer Event 11-04-2026) ](https://www.cnvc.org/learn/events/keep-your-nvc-fit-role-play-practice-2026-11-04-14-00-00) - [ **NVC Level 2: Intermediate: Understanding Power & NVC** (Trainer Event 11-14-2026) ](https://www.cnvc.org/learn/events/nvc-level-2-intermediate-understanding-power-nvc-2026-11-14-14-00-00) - [ **The Antiracist Heart** (Store Item) ](https://www.cnvc.org/store/the-antiracist-heart) - [ **Affirmations for Turbulent Times** (Store Item) ](https://www.cnvc.org/store/affirmations-for-turbulent-times) - [ **Tu Yo Resonante** (Store Item) ](https://www.cnvc.org/store/your-resonant-self-book-spanish) - [ **Your Resonant Self Workbook** (Store Item) ](https://www.cnvc.org/store/your-resonant-self-workbook) - [ **Your Resonant Self** (Store Item) ](https://www.cnvc.org/store/your-resonant-self-book) - [ **Your Resonant Self** (Store Item) ](https://www.cnvc.org/store/your-resonant-self-audio) - [ **Your Resonant Self Two-Book Set** (Store Item) ](https://www.cnvc.org/store/your-resonant-self-two-book-set) - [ **Foundation training in Nonviolent Communication** (Trainer Event 11-11-2026) ](https://www.cnvc.org/learn/events/foundation-training-in-nonviolent-communication-2026-11-11-18-30-00) - [ **Ceri Buckmaster** (Trainer Profile) ](https://www.cnvc.org/trainers/ceri-buckmaster) - [ **Sarah Peyton** (Trainer Profile) ](https://www.cnvc.org/trainers/sarah-peyton) ### TRAINING FOCUS: - Conflict Resolution - Social Change [ REGISTER ](https://www.nvcrising.org/depolarize-this "REGISTER") “The opposite of polarization is not agreement.
