London Community Day 2024

Welcome to a long afternoon of community, connection and play – all with a Nonviolent Communication twist.

Are you wanting to develop empathic and resilient community and friendship?

Are you interested in Nonviolent communication or are you longing for more after reading Marshall Rosenberg’s book or your Intro course.

Whether you are curious about NVC, or a beginner or facilitator or somewhere in between. this is a friendly and welcoming space to connect and learn.

This is our 5th iteration of the NVC London Community day.

2024 Theme – Collaboration

We have always had a theme; in 2016 we integrated the Brexit referendum result, in 2017 and 2018, we explored Community and Belonging. In 2019, we focussed on Play.

For 2024, the theme is Collaboration. How can we collaborate in this dominant, “patriarchal paradigm of powerlessness, separation and scarcity”, as Miki Kashtan puts it, drawing on Marshall Rosenberg’s exploration of what life is like in domination cultures.

• Powerful authentic self expression
