INTERMEDIATE/ADVANCED NVC TRAINING:
Engaging with Polarity: Living and Deepening Our NVC Practice

In this 4 full days´ gathering we will explore how to engage with polarity and paradox in everyday life. Using real life situations that participants bring, we will explore diverse perspectives through the lens of key differentiations of NVC and how those differentiations can help us navigate polarity to find common ground. Interactive, practical and exploratory, this gathering is designed to support the integration of NVC principles in natural ways. This four day workshop is the first of its kind in Norway!

The intention of this training is to create a laboratory of aliveness, where participants will work with relevant scenarios that impact them directly. Participants can therefore come with requests, and the agenda will be shaped as participants request topics or training experiences, or as the trainers perceive what is alive in the participants.

This may – or may not – include:

– The essence vs the form of NVC
– Being giraffe vs doing giraffe (making NVC natural)
– Power with vs power over
– Respect for authority vs fear of authority
– Restorative Circles
– Managing Transitions
– Handling depression
