This will include working together on community tasks, such as cooking, washing up and cleaning. We will also be exploring how we make decisions and address conflict as a community. We invite you to bring your courage and self-responsibility, bearing in mind that coming together as a community can be challenging, and conflicts may arise. It is in these situations that we are most likely to grow in our capacity to live in community. When you register, we will invite you to a short online interview, so that you can ask us questions, and we can get a sense if you’ll thrive on the way. **For more detailed information, check out our website:[ seedofpeace.org](https://seedofpeace.org/events/hereford-nvc-year-training-26-27-knowing-living-sharing-in-person/) .** [ LEARN MORE ](https://seedofpeace.org/events/hereford-nvc-year-training-26-27-knowing-living-sharing-in-person/ "LEARN MORE") ### Related - [ **United Kingdom 2026** (International Intensive Training) ](https://www.cnvc.org/learn/iit/2026-07-27-iit-uk) - [ **Bristol: The Life-changing Communication Course – weekend workshop** (Trainer Event 11-07-2026) ](https://www.cnvc.org/learn/events/bristol-the-life-changing-communication-course---weekend-workshop-2026-11-07-10-00-00) - [ **Bristol: The Life-changing Communication Course – weekend workshop** (Trainer Event 09-19-2026) ](https://www.cnvc.org/learn/events/bristol-the-life-changing-communication-course-weekend-workshop-2026-09-19-10-00-00) - [ **Barcelona, Spain: Thriving together** (Trainer Event 10-13-2026) ](https://www.cnvc.org/learn/events/barcelona-spain-thriving-together-2026-10-13-16-00-00) - [ **Gesine Schrader** (Trainer Profile) ](https://www.cnvc.org/trainers/gesine-schrader) - [ **Shantigarbha Warren** (Trainer Profile) ](https://www.cnvc.org/trainers/shantigarbha-warren) ### TRAINING FOCUS: - Conflict Resolution - Facilitation - General - Health & Healing [ REGISTER ](https://app.workshop-angel.com/form.php?h=1&t=0&e=121404d73fced6f6 "REGISTER") Experience the magic of a year-long NVC learning community.
