Planting Seeds of NVC   

Raising money for our NVC University!picture of Dorrit, the ED

BayNVC is already one of the foremost centers of NVC learning in the world, and we are ready to take the next step. We have spent almost 10 years developing our trainings and cultivating trainers. Now, our first priority is to build on and improve our curricula so we can provide trainings that will help people positively transform every aspect of life - family, community, and work. This "NVC University" will create stewards who will plant seeds of NVC and support organizations, schools, health-care facilities, and government agencies with facilitation, mediation, and coaching.

OTHER WAYS TO CONTRIBUTE

We are looking for support with donor and foundation development, and other forms of fund-raising.  Please email me if you can offer these skills as a gift to us.   

 

And we still need volunteers in the office to help us with all the tasks needed to implement our vision.  Shifts available from 9am-1pm or 1pm-5pm on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.

In anticipation of what we can create together,

How can we accept ourselves when we act against our own best intentions? 

Many of us often find it is easier to be compassionate towards others than towards ourselves. The punishment / non-deserving approach has been dominating our culture and minds so deeply that we find it almost impossible to embrace the notion that we are "OK".
