Organize a Training in Your Community

THE PASSION

We would like to connect with people who share the passion, vision and dream that Compassionate CommunicationSM can make a difference in all our needs being met peacefully in our personal lives, our communities and on our planet. We are passionate about sharing NVCSM, making it more easily available to everyone, and building community.

If you are excited and want more learning/training, here is a NEW strategy to meeting those needs!

 

THE PLAN

1) You, or someone in your area agrees to take on the coordination/organization of a training (half-day, full day, non-residential weekend or extended weekend).

2) You contact us and together we calendar the training (preferably 3 - 6 months in advance).

3) You decide what topics you would like to be offered.

4) You and/or others find six people (minimum) who agree to attend.

5) We provide the training and training materials for a set fee that is comfortable for all.

6) The organizer determines how our fee is distributed amongst participants; some could pay more, some less or none at all depending on their resources and willingness.

BENEFITS

You get the training you want.

You get training in your own neighborhood/home/local community.

You get this training at a time when it is most convenient to you.

You actively participate in building local NVCSM community.

With more people attending the cost per person is reduced.
