The Level 2 Intermediate Training Programme (Online & In Person, London)

Who’s it for?

Have you completed an NVC Foundation Training and feel inspired but a bit daunted by the challenge of making it part of your everyday life?

Would you like to become more competent and confident in your capacity to stay in NVC consciousness in a wide range of contexts and environments?

If so, this is for you.

What is it?

This programme consists of twelve trainings across the course of a year. Each is six hours long over one weekend a month. They are stand-alone, so you can attend as few or as many as you wish.

The programme repeats annually so you can join it at any point in the year and carry through until you’ve completed all twelve trainings. If you do this you will have a comprehensive understanding and practice of key NVC processes (e.g. saying no; transforming anger) and current topics (e.g. trauma; power and privilege).

This will help you resolve conflicts more easily and create deeper and more satisfying relationships in your life.

What people say:

“I completed my foundation training at the end of 2021 and, keen to maintain momentum since then, I’ve attended most of these intermediate training sessions. Without exception, the sessions have been brilliant. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the programme that Cath, Ceri, Tracy, Daren and Carolyn are providing. And, consequently, my NVC practice has seriously developed over this last year – at times with surprisingly amazing results. I wholeheartedly recommend the NVC London Level 2 Intermediate training programme – just what I needed to build on my foundation training.”
— Jo W
“All the trainings are excellent and they compliment each other very well, building a very beautiful tapestry of interwoven skills and concepts.”
