This training is for anyone who has some familiarity with NVC (Nonviolent Communication) and wants a comprehensive introductory training on a professional level, with a certified NVC trainer.
Participants will get a deeper understanding and experience of this new generation of communication skills, and establish a clear idea of what NVC is and what it is not.
The weekend takes us from the very beginning concepts to a deeper understanding of the purpose, meaning and implications NVC has in our lives and in the world.
We will practice responding and communicating consciously by expressing and hearing, based on what we are observing, feeling, needing, and requesting.
Through exercises, demonstrations, role-plays and more, participants will have first hand experience practicing and ultimately developing skills to bring back into their lives.
Participate, expand, connect with the community and help create a world where everybody's needs are considered and where life can be more wonderful.
The Discovery Weekend is a great opportunity to learn and share NVC with people who are important to you. It is a highly effective way to transform relationships with your friends, family, and enemies, and bring more compassion, harmony and fun into your life (see participant feedback below).Since this is an Introductory level workshop, you can register today (no prerequisite trainings are required) and enjoy the benefits of a NVC education within the coming months. Plus, as a Discovery Weekend graduate, you are eligible to attend Advanced Residential Intensives.

What People are Saying
"NVC has been a great gift to me. It has changed my life radically, I'm still amazed. Relationships that were stuck in old patterns have become fluid, caring and loving. Perhaps, at sixty-six, to find a new love with my husband, a warmth and closeness with my children, it all seems like a miracle."
--Anne N.
"Thom once explained to us that 'to make big changes in our lives we need big clarity'. Nonviolent Communication gets me clear on what it is that I want, and why. What it is that I believe, and why. With such clarity I now act with more assurance, and have more definition, purpose, and love in my life."
--Amy W."An amazingly clear, informative, succinct, on-time, and interesting presentation."
--Workshop Participant
"...life changing, revolutionary, hilarious... Please accept our hugest THANK YOU for the alchemy you've catalyzed in our staff."
--Vivian Lehrer Stadlin, Co-Founder of Eden Village Camp, Putnam Valley, NY
"Thom normalizes NVC. He shows it's possible to do in everyday life."
--Mike M."The immersion of Thom Bond's NVC Discovery Weekend has helped me make a HUGE shift in the way I'm communicating, listening/responding to others, and shifting the ways I think about my own feelings. I've had some big breakthroughs with my partner using some of the language I've learned; and have been able to see some intense feelings around my family as signals of needs I can address in my own life. And this is just the beginning..."
--Deb C."Thom's style as teacher is one that is filled with personal stories and examples that are meaningful and thoughtful. He does not place himself above anyone else."
--Elizabeth C.
"Working with Thom has changed my life. Really."
--Nellie B.
