For those who’ve already completed a foundation weekend or the equivalent, we’re offering a deeper exploration of NonViolent Communication.
While a foundation weekend equips you with all the basic components of NVC, it can still be challenging to put it all into practice. On this course we’ll practise working with NVC to develop more familiarity and fluency, and help it feel more natural. We’ll introduce some more advanced techniques and processes for particular situations, and learn about NVC’s approach to managing challenging emotions like anger, guilt, and shame. And we’ll work with some of our triggers to create more internal space and build awareness of how we can choose to react differently.
The event will run from 9:30 am to 5:30 pm each day.
Refreshments will be provided at break times. We will take an hour break for lunch - participants have the option to bring a packed lunch, or to have lunch in a local cafe.
The workshop takes place in Cloughjordan Ecovillage in Tipperary. This is on the train line from Dublin and Limerick, so it's accessible by public transport from most parts of Ireland. B&B or hostel accommodation is available locally. A tour of the Ecovillage can be provided on request.
Is this the right event for you?
If you’re new to NVC we’d recommend you join us for an introductory weekend first (upcoming dates are 29th and 30th March or 7th and 8th June 2025)
If you’ve already done multiple days training then do come along, as there will be something for all levels of experience - we think of NVC as a lifelong journey, so there is always more to learn and practice!
Pay what you can afford!
We don't want anyone to miss this opportunity for financial reasons, so we're offering a sliding scale from €80-160 for a full weekend workshop.
For full transparency: €120 per person would cover our running costs - we hope some people will be willing to pay more to support those who would struggle to pay the full amount. If the minimum recommended contribution is still not accessible for you, please get in touch to discuss bursary, concessions, or other gift economy offerings.
Please pay a deposit of €40 when making your booking (the remaining contribution can be paid at the event).
