Communicate with confidence and authenticity.
Navigate conflict with clarity and compassion.
Build stronger, more connected relationships—with others and yourself.
Communication is at the Heart of Every Relationship
Yet, in moments of stress or disagreement, many of us struggle to express ourselves in ways that foster connection rather than conflict. Nonviolent Communication (NVC) is a powerful, evidence-based framework that empowers you to express yourself honestly, listen with empathy, and build relationships rooted in trust and understanding.
In partnership with Narara Ecovillage Education, this special weekend intensive offers a deep dive into the transformative principles of NVC. Whether you’re new to the model or looking to refresh your skills, this workshop provides practical tools to strengthen your communication in both personal and professional settings.
Alongside learning NVC, this weekend also offers a unique opportunity to experience—or reflect on—the dynamics of community life at Narara Ecovillage.
