Sharing NVC with others is one of the most powerful methods for deepening your own NVC consciousness.

Helping someone else understand an NVC concept helps you clarify your own understanding of that concept, and heightens your awareness of how you are (or are not) living your NVC practice. Facilitating NVC courses takes this to the next level, because it's an ongoing reminder of the NVC consciousness from which you want to live.

However, sharing NVC comes with its own set of challenges and joys – you may even find you need to develop different skills

This intensive 12-week program is specifically designed to help you: develop those NVC teaching skills; clarify and accentuate your unique style; and fall in love with the process.

Your ability to live in NVC consciousness will deepen, your skills will improve, and you'll discover greater ease and joy in your heart when facilitating NVC courses.

How is this Course Structured?

Each week, a particular topic will be the focus of the teaching and discussion. They are:

1. Setting your intention and clarifying the facilitator's role
2. Creating safety and ease in your group, and improving your tracking skills
3. Constructing a workshop outline
4. Developing teaching activities
5. Balancing all needs (yours, individual, and group needs), and transparency
6. Responding to non-believers and hecklers
7. Dealing with your own emotional triggers and people you dislike
8. Choosing when to interrupt and when to fine tune a participant's NVC skills
9. Charging for your work and how to decide whether to give discounts
10. Keeping your workshop alive
11. Promoting your work and maximizing your ability to earn a living
12. To be determined - based on participants' requests

Who Should Take This Course?

This unique course is especially intended for those who are already facilitating NVC groups and want to improve their skills through community support and collaboration.

What People Are Saying About This Course

My experience in our group with Mary's authentic, honest presence and guidance was one of learning, understanding, and support in community with others who shared the common goal of bringing our authentic selves and skills to facilitate NVC groups with joy and ease. Mission accomplished!

When I signed up for this course, I had a dream of facilitating an introductory workshop in NVC. The skills I learned and the support I received from Mary and the other participants helped me to realize that dream. We had in-depth discussions that ranged from how to be present with hecklers to how to market workshops and trainings. I am grateful for all of the wisdom and experience Mary brought to the call, and joyfully shared with us.
