We’re on a mission to make life easier for people practising and embodying NVC who maybe longing for more ease and fluency when situations get hard, the stakes are high and where the connection really matters.

This invitation is aimed specifically at certification candidates travelling the path to becoming a Certified Trainer with the Centre for Nonviolent Communication (CNVC).

We’re on a mission to make life easier for people practising and embodying NVC who maybe longing for more ease and fluency when situations get hard, the stakes are high and where the connection really matters.

Who?

Role Play club is hosted and facilitated by Barry Jones (CNVC Certified Trainer) and Ember Burns (Certification Candidate). They bring with them a mix of groundedness, vulnerability, fun, energy and inclusive and engaging facilitation.

Role play club was bought to life by an offer from Ember to support and stretch Barry as he prepared for his assessment event as a certification candidate in spring 2023. After Barry became a Certified Trainer they developed NVC Role Play Club, offering the space to anyone longing to learn and develop their NVC skills and consciousness through role play.

How?

Role play club will be held fortnightly online. You are invited to join the community for an initial three month period and attend all of the 6 sessions. We imagine this will help to build a sense of community and safety to support practice, vulnerability, and growth.

You will have plenty of opportunities to be in the ‘audience’ and witness role plays as well as participate in the role plays.

Those witnessing will be invited to practise offering value based feedback for role players. The scenarios will be selected from the CNVC Certification Preparation Packet or from real life examples that role play club members suggest.

We will mirror how role plays are conducted at assessment events organised by the English Speaking European Assessment Team (ESEAT).

We are continuing our experiment offering NVC Role Play Club in the spirit of gift culture, with the wish that it is financially sustainable for everyone involved.

To participate in NVC Role Play Club, the initial community membership is for three months (6 session) on a sliding scale of £300 - £120. After three months you can continue your membership at a sliding scale of £100 – £40 per month.  We want this to be sustainable for the whole community including our needs as facilitators, we invite you to consider what feels sustainable for you. 

We don’t want access to financial resources to be a barrier to becoming a member of the community. If our requests around money isn’t sustainable for you, please get in touch.

Role Play club will be limited to around 10 people, to support connection, depth and room for practice.
