Living Peace Retreat
Friday, February 4, 2011 - Wednesday, February 9, 2011
 The Living Peace retreat is a perfect way to immerse yourself in both the beauty of NVC community and the beauty of nature. Set in the beautiful redwood forest of the Santa Cruz Mountains, the retreat typically draws both participants with considerable Nonviolent Communication experience who want to bring their understanding and proficiency to a new level, and also those who are new to NVC and want to immerse themselves in NVC skills and consciousness.
The retreat is led by lead trainer Kathy Simon and an experienced team of NVC trainers. Each day provides plenty of time to work in small groups and to receive one-on-one coaching around the issues that matter most to you. Register
Participants of this retreat may apply to continue their learning in the BayNVC Immersion Program which will meet at BayNVC one weekend per month in 2011, beginning in March.

Nonprofit manager, Living Peace 2009 Participant "My experience with learning NVC with Kathy was enlivening and inspiring, not only or principally because of the content, but because Kathy's continuous flow of presence and communication met my need for clarity and authenticity; freeing me to be able to take in the content effectively." Writer and Activist, Living Peace 2010 Participant

NVC for Couples
January 20, 2011 - March 10, 2011
7:00pm-9:00pm
 Our intimate relationships are so important to us, and yet sometimes we struggle to connect with our partners, struggle to understand them, and struggle to express ourselves both authentically and lovingly.
In this series, you will explore how to use both big and small challenges in your relationship as opportunities to grow both individually and as a couple.
We'll work on sharing truth honestly -- without blame; opening yourself to vulnerability, without losing power, and choosing compassion -- both for yourself and for your partner.
Register for this series presented by Kathy Simon.

 Read Maja's new article
"What Are You Practicing"I've always loved dancing, and for about 6 years I danced in a context that emphasized interaction based on self connection and authentic expression. And then I stopped, cold turkey. All-of-a-sudden, I had become intensely drawn to sitting still. My meditation practice took priority over the joy of dancing. ... Read full article

Life Enriching Education - A Workshop for Educators
Saturday, January 8, 2011 10:00am-4:00pm Join presenters Kristin Hull, Ilene Fortune and Jared Finkelstein for a day rich in information and experiential excercises focused on empowering students, teachers, and parents to work together to transform classrooms.
Distinct from other school programs nonviolent communication does not label people in any way. Rather, nonviolent communication practitioners see behavior through the lens of universal human needs. In this way, NVC helps people learn about themselves, understand the actions of others, and find ways to productively and cooperatively meet their needs.
"Compassionate Classrooms" teaches educators how to:- Connect compassionately with themselves and others using the process language of nonviolent communication
- Work with students to design and implement individual learning objectives
- Provide process evaluation - more effective than grades, praise, and punishment in promoting learning and growth
- Greatly reduce and peacefully resolve conflicts
We encourage you to register soon to ensure your space. When this workshop has reached its capacity, we will begin a waiting list.
