NVC TRAINING INSTITUTE OFFERS A 7 DAY TRAINING:

THE LIVING ENERGY OF NEEDS
Practical applications for everyday life

With Robert Gonzales, Susan Skye, Wes Taylor, and Gina Lawrie

19 – 26 October, 2008
At Linderhof, Allgäu, South-Germany

Early bird rate if you register before 1 August, 2008

"The Living Energy of Needs" supports the ongoing development of
foundational NVC skills and consciousness. In addition to supporting
core NVC skills, we have continued to develop our training over the
past five years to help participants practically access and live from
a deeper dimension of needs. We weave the experience of the living
energy of needs throughout the training, as the core dimension from
which we learn and live the NVC process.

In the words of recent participants…

“This is a totally new dimension of NVC that I never knew existed.  It really resonates with my spiritual experiences.”

“I’ve been practicing NVC for 3 years and I am excited about the way your training is touching into a level of depth that is unexpected.  Now I can experience needs not as something lacking, but as a fullness.”

“I’ve been dealing with this issue for years, and today, for the first time, using  this simple process [of transforming a core jackal belief with the living energy of needs] I felt complete freedom with respect to this limiting core belief.”

Join “The Living Energy of Needs” to strengthen your NVC skills and deepen your ability to access the consciousness and life enriching energy of needs beyond the simple identification of them. 

The training will include opportunities to:

• Identify your current strengths and growing edges in the application of NVC in your daily life
• Learn an in depth process for self connection that transforms pain into life-supporting energy
• Understand the core belief structures that shape our experience and perception and see their relationship to needs
• Receive feedback and coaching on structured presentations
• Deepen your understanding of the domination and partnership paradigms and the role of needs in each paradigm
• Understand the spiritual foundation of NVC
• Learn and live with a dynamic community of people who share a life-serving vision

Benefits of this Training:

1. An Intensive Retreat Experience
   Immerse yourself in the NVC consciousness.
   Renew and refresh your spirit.
   Connect with others who are seeking to live from this way of understanding our experience.
   
2. Concentrated NVC Processing and Growth
   What are your unique challenges in living the process?
   In what situations do you find yourself responding in ways you don't like? Or simply not knowing how to respond?
   
   This retreat will offer focused opportunities to identify these situations and to do the work to experience the shifts that will take each of us to the next level of NVC consciousness.
   
   Sample topics include: dealing with reactive triggers, staying connected with yourself in tough situations, dealing with emotional intensity (including anger), and giving and receiving honest feedback.
   
3. Coached Practice in Sharing NVC (primarily for those already facilitating & teaching)
   • Learn by doing with coaching and guidance.
   • Tailor your practice to the level and type of challenge you want, whatever your level of experience.
   • Receive individualized feedback on your unique strengths and opportunities for learning at this point on your NVC journey from these four very experienced trainers and mediators.
     
     
4. Support for a Variety of Learning Styles
   

   While the majority of the workshop is designed to provide experiential learning, there will also be opportunities for those who enjoy learning by observation, and those who benefit from enhanced conceptual understanding of the principles that underlie NVC.

For those who were left wanting more of the types of experiences created in our Advanced Trainings - here it is!

We look forward to co-creating this training with you!

Brief Details

Who:
Anyone who desires to deepen their experience of NVC or share/teach NVC more effectively. We would like to be able to offer a level of training beyond the most basic understandings of NVC, so we request that each person registering have had at least 20 hours of training with a certified NVC trainer, with an awareness that many of the people attending will have attended an International Intensive Training and may have had 100 or more hours of training. We are open to discussing this request.

Beginners to NVC:
We are currently considering running our “foundations track” as described on our homepage during the training in Germany.  This decision will be based on a number of factors, but first, we would need to have a sufficient number of people interested.  If you are a beginner to NVC and would like to participate in this training (with special sessions designed to address the beginning levels of NVC learning), please contact Wes Taylor at:
: to express this interest.  We will inform those who request this “track” once the decision is made.

Please note: Training language will be English!
We decided to do so because a “full-time-translation” would heavily affect the flow and intensity of the training.

So here is how we think about translation: Since this training in general will not be translated you need a basic fluency in speaking and understanding English. We would like you to be able to follow the lectures and express yourself, NOT grammatically perfect but understandable.

The trainers are committed to contribute to your best learning by using words as simple as possible and speaking slowly. We are willing to help out with translations occasionally.
We welcome self organized interpretation in small groups from skilled participants (like in International Intensive Trainings).
