Imagine a world where people were focused on valuing everyone's needs and had the practical communication skills to do so. You can be a part of making this world a reality.
Come participate in an intensive experiential training in Nonviolent Communication (NVC) and Spirituality with one of the top NVC trainers in the U.S.
This training is suitable for newcomers as well as experienced practitioners of NVC.
What is NVC?
From the Center for Nonviolent Communication website:
"This approach to communication emphasizes compassion as the motivation for action rather than fear, guilt, shame, blame, coercion, threat or justification for punishment. In other words, it is about getting what you want for reasons you will not regret later. NVC is NOT about getting people to do what we want. It is about creating a quality of connection that gets everyone's needs metthrough compassionate giving."
No prior NVC training or experience is required. However, we highly recommend, that participants read Nonviolent Communication by Marshall Rosenberg before attending.
A quote from Robert Gonzales:
"In whatever way I approach my life deeply, the manifestation will be social change. I approach social change from the inside instead of approaching it as an external concept. My relationship to NVC is about how can I manifest spirit. NVC gives me the boat to cross the river. So the core of the work is 'What is my relationship to life, to all of my experience?'
"NVC helps me, not to get to the other shore, but to remove the obstructions that show me I'm already there. When I'm most connected to spirit I realize there's nothing to achieve, no success, nothing to get to. When I want to achieve something, I get into an urgency and a fear that I'm not going to get there. When I'm alive in that place beyond concepts, there's no fear.
"I'm hungry to share with people from that ground of being. Not to focus on social change as an agenda. The social change and political action flows effortlessly when I'm in this place."
Robert Gonzales received a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology in 1989. He met Marshall Rosenberg and Nonviolent Communication (NVC) in 1985, and has been offering NVC in some form since 1986. His background is primarily in individual and couples counseling. He has offered NVC training to community colleges, high schools, churches, social workers, psychologists, mediators, teenagers, and public groups. He has taught psychology, counseling and communication at Prescott College. Robert opened the Prescott Center for Nonviolent Communication in Prescott, Arizona in June 2000. The Center is a non-profit educational organization that offers training, practice groups, private consultations and coaching in NVC. He has been a trainer at IITs (International Intensive Trainings) and is currently one of two assessors in the U.S. for the certification of CNVC Trainers.
