Time to tune in -

Treat yourself to the essence of NVC

​

​

August 14-18, 2024

Training facilitators: Marianne Göthlin, Corrylaura Van Bladel and Towe Widstrand – certified trainers with the Center for Nonviolent Communication

​

Nonviolent Communication practice for everyday living​

This event was initiated from several requests from our contacts, asking for a training in Sweden. We are enthusiastic to have found the timing and place to make this happen. We wish for some meaningful days of diving into NVC in “lightness and depth”.  We invite you to practice NVC and to enjoy these days tailored to our group and participants' needs.

 

For whom
Maybe you know NVC well and yet find it difficult to apply with people close to you, with authorities, when there is tension, conflict or just quietness? Maybe you have experienced that more words do not mean more connection?

This is an opportunity for you who want to sharpen your skills to contribute to understanding and mutual conversations.

We welcome both you who are fairly new to NVC and you who are looking for in-depth training. As we are three trainers we can adapt to different needs and levels of learning and we all learn from each other. These days count if you are in the CNVC certification process.

 

What we will focus on
We would like to offer a variety of opportunities to learn about and practice the essence of NVC and its applications. Take our time to tune in to core needs and how to make them alive in our relationships.

 

Some of what we envision to dive into:

- self-care
- expressing honesty
- listening skills

to practice using these three as possibilities for connection.

 

This can mean practicing

​

• to go beyond self-criticism and identify core needs

• mourning mistakes - and celebrate when things are going your way

• developing inner self-care in language

• transforming anger and enemy images

• finding motivation and strength to be honest

• listening with empathy - giving space to be in the moment

• handle your own reactivity when listening

• develop your personal NVC vocabulary, your “street giraffe”

• listening when there are complaints, resistance, or silence

​

​

We plan to offer training on a shared topic in the mornings. After lunch, there will be options for training in smaller groups, on different topics, and also for recreation, hanging out in the garden, going for a forest walk or swimming.

We will eat all meals together, all vegan, vegetarian and with no alcoholic drinks. We can also have some evening activities depending on inner and outer weather.

So we encourage you to imagine yourself being with us during these summer days, enriching yourself by combining days of learning and recreation in a warm and supportive community.

Fader Chris Rajendram​

As a unique quality input, we have invited our trainer colleague Fader Chris Rajendram from Sri Lanka to be with us these days. He will offer some meditations and be available for some private sessions. Chris will decide about his participation depending on health reasons close to the event.

​

Corrylaura Van Bladel
From an early age I have been intrigued and touched by the way people (not) communicate with themselves and others. Every day I notice how difficult many people find it to say what they want to say and not take things they hear personally. This is exactly what I want to support and inspire. So that people can live their authentic selves and can and dare to have exciting conversations, beyond the differences. To be fair, in my life it was / is no different, and I am still learning every day. That is exactly what I stand for as a trainer: being human among people and learning together by sharing experience and wisdom.

Marianne Göthlin​

Marianne Göthlin is sharing NVC internationally, collaborating with trainers in different countries.  She has a background as a teacher and a life-long engagement in education. “I treasure the practice NVC offers to sharpen awareness and communication.  I love the subtle power of empathic presence where there is a space for everyone to be and where mutuality can grow. Sharing NVC with people of all ages are ways for me to connect with hope, purposeful contribution, and strength of community.”
