On this NVC Level 2 Intermediate Training we will explore how to connect with ourselves and others when we mess up! We will explore how we talk to ourselves and what is going on for us internally. We will also look at how we can connect with the people who have been impacted by our actions and how we can express our regret in a connected and connecting way.

Themes covered will include:
- How we connect with ourselves when we make mistakes, exploring and practicing the concepts and dynamics of the 'inner educator' and 'inner chooser' as defined by Marshall Rosenberg.
- What it means to 'mourn' in NVC.
- Judgemental apology vs life-connected apology.
- Expressing our regret in a life-connected way.

“This training goes to the essence of human connection with self, life and others.  It offers a practical and heartful framework for working through what comes alive in moments of regret, mourning of needs that cannot be met at that time, and apology.” – Anna E, participant in March 2023

“I very much enjoyed and valued the training. It was intense and required hard work which I very much value. I have gained some great learnings from these two half day workshops and was offered the tools to use them... Thank you Daren. - T. Tawil, March 2021

What is the NVC Level 2 Intermediate Training Programme?

The NVC Level 2 Intermediate Training programme costs of 12 individual trainings across the course of a year, one training per month (approx 6 hours per training). Each training stands alone.
To find a list of the other trainings in this programme, follow this link and click on the drop-down menu: “I want to attend the Level 2 Intermediate Training Programme.”

The programme repeats annually so you can join it at any point in the year and carry through until you’ve completed all twelve trainings. If you do this you will have a comprehensive understanding and practice of key NVC processes (e.g. saying no; transforming anger) and current topics (e.g. trauma; power and privilege). This will help you resolve conflicts more easily and create deeper and more satisfying relationships in your life.

The trainings are facilitated by five London-based certified NVC trainers – Cath Burke, Ceri Buckmaster, Carolyn Davies,  Daren De Witt and Tracy Seed. We are a collaborative group working together to offer you clear learning and progression options to suit you. We are committed to creating a supportive network for those learning, living and sharing NVC both in London and globally. Many of our trainings are currently online.  We hope you will enjoy the richness of themes that this programme offers, along with the variety that comes from the individual perspective and specialism of each trainer.

This is what previous participants say:

“I completed my foundation training at the end of 2021 and, keen to maintain momentum since then, I’ve attended most of these intermediate training sessions.  Without exception, the sessions have been brilliant.  I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the programme that Cath, Ceri, Tracy, Daren and Carolyn are providing.  And, consequently, my NVC practice has seriously developed over this last year – at times with surprisingly amazing results.  I wholeheartedly recommend the NVC Level 2 Intermediate Training Programme – just what I needed to build on my foundation training.” – Jo W

“I find these trainings so enriching and empowering. They have also given me the opportunity to meet people in other ways, and I am very grateful for this.” – Hannah

“All the trainings are excellent and they compliment each other very well, building a very beautiful tapestry of interwoven skills and concepts.” – Anna E
