Warm welcome, and an invitation to gather in Aotearoa, New Zealand.
From all directions you come,
bringing your wisdom, aspirations, and skills
to share, gather, and nourish
as a gift for the world.

We invite you to this 9-day IIT immersion with the spirit of welcome – nau mai, whakatau mai – and with a recognition of te reo Māori as one of the national languages of Aotearoa New Zealand.

9-DAY RESIDENTIAL RETREAT IN NONVIOLENT COMMUNICATION

This 9-day immersion experience into Nonviolent Communication (NVC) will offer learning sessions, home groups, coaching and feedback from skilled trainers, and a community environment where you can learn and practice the key skills of NVC.

Our team of Certified Trainers will share both the core curriculum of NVC as developed by Dr. Marshall Rosenberg, as well as their own unique applications. We expect a group of approximately 65 participants (in addition to the trainers and organizers below) from different countries, cultural backgrounds, professions and walks of life.

People around the world are using Nonviolent Communication skills to transform conflict, create resilience in their relationships, and build a world where everyone’s needs matter and are met collaboratively.

We will create a dynamic learning laboratory that will show you how to create a more compassionate and peaceful culture in your life at home, at work, and in your community by learning how to:

1. Speak from the heart
2. Practice deep, non-judgmental listening
3. Build self-empowerment from the inside out
