The Candidates/Community Active Learning Forum (CALF) was created to support CNVC Certification Candidates on their journey to certification. We have expanded to include those NVC practitioners who are steeped in NVC and those who are learning NVC as well. We focus on supporting participants to know, share and live NVC to the best of their ability. We are deeply aligned with Dr. Marshall B. Rosenberg’s NVC practice and principles. CALF is led by an international and seasoned team of CNVC assessors and trainers offering regular in-person retreats, online workshops, individual mentoring and an online learning community.
