9-day residential retreat (IIT) in California, US: May/June 2024

Join us for this residential retreat in California, United States (24 May 2024 – 2 June 2024 ) that will help you bring nonviolence and peace into all areas of your life. In this event, you can discover skills that will help you improve the quality of your relationships, deepen your inner peace, and increase your contribution to the world.

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. The training team includes Aya Caspi, David Weinstock, Kristin Masters, Rodrigo Suárez Hoffman and Roxy Manning. We expect a group of approximately 60 to 100 people 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
