Welcome

I believe passionately that the way in which we connect and communicate with ourselves and one another can have a truly transformational impact now and in the future.

About this Course

This in person training will take place at Kith Homestead. An open, outdoor space set on a Yorkshire hillside. If the weather is  kind we have the option of being outdoors, around a fire or we can retreat to the comfort of a yurt.

Our time together is inspired by and draws on the work of Dr Marshall Rosenburg and the Centre of Nonviolent Communication (CNVC).

We will explore the steps of the NVC process, to listen with compassion to ourselves and others and discover how to express with honesty and integrity whilst caring for everyone’s needs.

The course will enable you to start practising using NVC in your daily life, be that whilst at work, in the local community or at home.

The course is delivered in a fun, engaging and experiential way working with examples from participants’ own lives and experiences.

I aim to co-create and maintain a learning environment where we can all learn and practise NVC together.

Inclusion matters to me, and I welcome any one no matter how you identify, your background, or access to financial resources. If you have any concerns around inclusion, I would be happy to hear from you.

Taking a need based approach to the money I request for the work offer 

Firstly, I’d like to share my gratitude to everyone in the NVC community in the UK and beyond who are leading the way in taking a needs based approach to money. Your leadership is inspiring and heart-warming and has enabled me to step into experimenting with the way I request money for the work that I offer.

The outline below is inspired by and draws upon some of the approaches of numerous Certified Trainers, including Beth, Ceri, Gesine, Shantigarbha, Tracey, and many others.

To make the work I offer available to as many people and organisations as possible, I take a needs based approach to money, where everyone’s needs matter. For this workshop I would like to receive the following:

Option 1: £150.00 (Lower income option)

Option 2: £200.00 (Lower / Middle income option)

Option 2: £250.00 (Middle income option)

Option 4: £350 (If you have a comfortable lifestyle, If you contribute similar amounts for other courses, If your Employer is paying for the course, please use this option)

On the booking form there is an option to pay in full or pay a deposit and in monthly instalments.

If the amount of money I would like to receive for the work I offer is a barrier for you (perhaps you would like me to receive more, or offer less, than I request) please do get it touch. Because, it matters to me that:

• the work I offer is accessible to everyone and that yours and my (our) needs around financial sustainability are acknowledged
• my energy and work contribute and supports compassionate communication, connection and collaboration.
• the energy and work of other NVC trainers with similar offerings is honoured and their needs for financial sustainability are also acknowledged. (I don’t want you to choose to work with me because this approach to money enables you to ‘pay less’ than what other trainers are asking.)
  With compassion & gratitude
