2021/2022 Nonviolent Communication Integration Program


WE HAD TO CANCEL THE 2020-2021 IN PERSON EVENT DUE TO COVID 19

September 2020 through May 2021

with certified NVC Trainers Peggy Smith & Leah Boyd

An Intermediate NVC Experience

9 months of Deepening NVC Consciousness in

Five Workshop Weekends

Program Highlights - In this experiential Nonviolent Communication program, we will explore themes that lead to an embodiment and deepening of NVC awareness and skills. Led by Peggy Smith and Leah Boyd, experienced certified NVC teachers and practitioners, participants will have the opportunity to shift from simply understanding NVC as a concept to living from NVC consciousness.  

The program is dynamic and lively, based on proven learning methods.  Woven into NVC practice is current understandings gleaned from Sarah Peyton’s (www.empathybrain.com) synthesis of Interpersonal Neurobiology (IPNB). We delve into not only how NVC works but why it works with our neurobiology.

 Throughout the program a strong bond of NVC community grows among the participants. The direct instruction will be enriched by home practice and phone connections between sessions. 

The first four weekends begin Friday, with supper. The fifth session begins Friday morning. 

This is an amazing opportunity to develop NVC consciousness and skills while staying in New England.  The direct instruction will be enriched by home practice and phone connections between sessions.  

"I knew I needed the discipline and practice the Integration Program provides because my behaviors that didn't serve me well were so long-standing and rigid.  I need strengthening in my abilities to stay present and accepting during a flow of dialogue.  I have been profoundly impacted and nourished by my participation!" Arlene Nickerson, past participant
