Leveraging Your
Influence Using NVC East Coast: Three 6-day residential intensive retreats over 8 months with opportunities for online learning and for smaller groups to engage in projects and connection in between (conference calls or in person, depending on where you live)
The vision of the program is to delve deeply into the practice of living the consciousness and principles of NVC using a natural language approach and leveraging our influence by using NVC as the "organizing principle" for our work in the world. Rather than focus on specific skills to teach NVC formally, we intend to focus on all the real-life situations in which using NVC can move us and our environment closer to the dream of a needs-based world. We start with where we are, by inspiring others, by transforming conflict to mutual understanding, and by forging connections and alliances through our shared human needs. For example - "If I'm a teacher, how can I more fully live NVC with my students? If I'm a doctor.... a lawyer.... a minister .... a spouse.... a professional athlete... a midwife - how can I live NVC so fully that all the people I meet each day are affected by its profound gifts? How do I infuse my work and play so that NVC consciousness becomes the common denominator in all my relationships?" We are excited to imagine a world like this! A world in which each of us could act in the sacred role of the midwife and help bring greater NVC presence to all the areas of life our personal worlds touch. Because of the nature of this program, we envision a community made up of a range of NVC experience. We envision having some very experienced NVC practitioners and trainers who are eager to naturalize their use of NVC and become free, again, to meet and engage with people who are not necessarily NVC people. We also imagine having some people who have a deep appreciation of the NVC frame of reference, and some familiarity with the tools without a whole lot of formal experience. The mix worked wonderfully at the retreat last August when this program was "conceived." This program is designed to be co-created from their inception by Miki and all the participants in each program. This means aiming for a radical level of vulnerability and trust, particularly around issues of tuition, money and sustainability, gift economy, inclusion, learning goals, and honesty regarding feedback and commitment to holding all needs with deep care. We are excited to discover the extent to which we can create a community that would manifest such a dream together while supporting all of us to become a resource to those around us and the world! We hold no limit on what we can create together. We might just become that small group of individuals that Margaret Mead refers to in her famous quote. Cost: Both programs are designed to be run on a semi-gift-economy basis. We plan for the final decisions about contributions to be made within the context of the community that is created for the program. We are aiming for 25 or more people in each of the programs, with a minimum tuition of $2,400 and $1,200 respectively. At the same time, it is our expectation that some people will join either program without any ability to contribute towards tuition, and that some others will contribute significantly above the minimum amount to make the program sustainable. In addition to tuition, the East Coast program includes some out-of-pocket expenses. Each retreat costs $400 for room and board, payable directly to the Abode. In addition, Miki's transportation and room and board, the facility fee, supplies, and possibly room and board for assistants are a shared responsibility of all participants, and those costs will be handled in a manner similar to the tuition.

to register In addition, you can contact Sarah Proechel at serafinajp@netzero.net or Karen Murphy at kmmurphy1271@gmail.com if you have specific questions you want answered about the East Coast program, and the BayNVC office at register@baynvc.org for questions about the West Coast program. Dates and registration information
for the East Coast Program:
The dates are: April 13-18, August 17-22, and November 9-14, 2012. The online and conference calls part will be created and facilitated by the community. Although the program is open to all, we are putting anyone without prior retreat experience with Miki on a waiting list until February 15, 2012. If you would like to join the program, we urge you to act quickly, as we have had a surge of interest in the program. We request a deposit of $800 or more to reserve your place. More will be greatly welcome, as we anticipate some people won't be able to come up with the full $800. Please send a check made out to BayNVC, along with your name and full contact information including email and phone number, to Karen Murphy, 4113 Old Route 22, Brewster, NY 10509. If this is not an option for you, please be in touch with Karen Murphy at kmmurphy1271@gmail.com or 917-608-9345 to discuss other options.
