There are more than over 130 Certified Trainers of Nonviolent
Communication, all over the world. Nonviolent Communication
trainings and practice events are available through four basic
avenues:
(1) Certified Trainers
independently produce training events.
These may take the form of daytime or evening introductions,
half-day workshops, 1-8 day trainings, on-going practice sessions,
and special trainings designed for specific groups or topics. Some
trainings are day classes, others are residential.
For information about a training near you, contact the Certified
Trainer offering the event. Note that the calendaring, specific
curriculum, sign-up and registration for events produced by
Certified Trainers is handled differently by different Trainers. The
CNVC office does not provide signup or registration services for
these events. For information or to register, connect with a
Certified Trainer near you: [find a trainer].
(2) CNVC produces International
Intensive Trainings (IITs) several times a year, in various
locations around the globe. See [iit schedules].
An IIT is a 9-day, Nonviolent Communication, “immersion
experience.” It is a residential workshop, facilitated by CNVC
Certified Trainers, and typically involves between 20 and 80
participants. The purpose of an IIT training is to offer people the
opportunity to live the process of Nonviolent Communication in
community over an extended period of time, using this as an
opportunity to develop Nonviolent Communication skills and
consciousness. For more information about IITs, see [what is an iit?], below.
IIT registration is handled by the CNVC office. For information
about specific IITs, or to register for an IIT, take this link [iit registration information].
(3) Sometimes, Marshall Rosenberg
or other CNVC Certified Trainers will be hired by an organization or
individual who is producing a workshop.
The CNVC office does not provide registration services for these
events. However, references and links to these events can sometimes
be found in the calendars of the Certified Trainers who are involved
with the event. For example, see Marshall Rosenberg’s calendar:
[marshall in ’04].
(4) There are also groups of
friends, neighbors, or colleagues who meet together to study or
practice NVC.
These groups are self-organized and are not supervised or
certified by CNVC. The CNVC office does not calendar such meetings
nor track their curriculum, but many people find self-organized
groups helpful in meeting needs for learning and community. For
information about such groups in your neighborhood, contact a “local
NVC supporter” [find nvc supporters].
