Kenyan NVC Retreat

Come join us for a 10-day residential training in Kenya, where we will focus on learning and integrating the fundamentals of Nonviolent Communication (NVC) in order to support you to bring greater compassion to your life and work, and impact your relationships in your local contexts.

Program

During this event, you will discover skills that will help you improve the quality of your relationships, deepen your inner peace, and increase your contribution to the world, all while living in an international community of practice.

In the retreat, you will be among people from other countries of Africa and beyond; the experience will offer you a range of different ways to connect and learn NVC in community, through training sessions, empathy groups, coaching and feedback from skilled trainers; to experience an environment, in which you practice the key skills of NVC in relation to different situations as they arise in your life and during the training.

Our experienced, international team of Certified Trainers will provide an immersive introduction to NVC, as developed by Dr. Marshall Rosenberg, as well as share insights from their own unique applications. We expect a group of approximately 60 to 70 participants from a diverse range of cultural backgrounds, professional backgrounds, and walks of life.

People around the world are using NVC skills to transform conflict, create resilience in their relationships, and progressively build a world where everyone’s needs matter and are met collaboratively. We hope you will join us!

Details

The program begins at 09:00 on the morning of December 1st and ends after lunch on December 10th. The retreat will be held in English language and it will be in-person, residential and community based.

Goals

The purpose of the Kenyan NVC Retreat is to give you the opportunity to integrate the principles and processes of NVC through living and learning together in a large and diverse community of practitioners over an extended period of time.

Particularly, we will focus on exploring together how NVC can be applied in ways that are relevant and impactful in the unique contexts in which you live and work in Africa and beyond. The retreat is an opportunity for co-creation, with a focus on bringing inner transformation and healing of relationships, with social transformation, both at the local and global scales. It will also give you a chance to network with like minded people.
