DESCRIPTION
Conflict is an inevitable part of life.
Just thinking about it can send your heart rate soaring, create tension throughout your body, and hijack your ability to think calmly and logically… But what if you could transform that energy into life-enriching systems?
That's what you'll learn in this eye-opening course recording with Ceri Buckmaster, Sarah Ludford, and Jo McHale.
For the past several years, these trainers have been pursuing a joint dream: that every NVC community has embedded within it a restorative approach to responding to conflict. Their offerings have attracted interest from around the world, and they are now deeply excited to be able to offer their approach to you.
During this course recording, you will learn about the importance of system building, including:
- The set-up and maintenance of a system
- How to harness the buy-in and energy of key people in a community
- Developing a mindset that embraces conflict
You will also practice skills needed to:
- Set up, support, and facilitate dialogue, mediations, and restorative circles
- Stay grounded and calm in the presence of intense pain and hurt, anger, and disappointment
- Guide people towards making agreements that will help restore broken relationships and much more.

Jo McHale
CNVC Certified Trainer from the UK
When I left school (a very long time ago), I studied at the Royal College of Music in London. The most profoundly satisfying outcome of my training was experiencing the exquisite connection that arose when listening intently to my fellow performers, each allowing ourselves to be influenced by one another to shape a performance. Egos were put to one side, to be replaced by collaboration and mutual exchange. Our aim was to create something beautiful. I later found that NVC has an analogous intention and effect. Over the 27 years that I have been integrating it into my life and work, I have seen ever more clearly how its principles and ethos enable people to tune in to one another and transform discordant relationships. I have been drawn ever more strongly to working with conflict.
