The main purpose of this gathering is to develop the London NVC network and can be used for:
- socialising and strengthening connections
- project group / 'Weave' planning meetings
- developing Coordination and Communication mechanisms for the network,
- resolving dilemmas we find ourselves as we work collectively together.
Who is this Gathering for?
For anyone who has been inspired by NVC and has a strong interest in creating more collaborative systems that support connection between people for NVC consciousness to thrive in London.
Anyone interested in exploring how it is possible to develop a consciousness of the 'we' of NVC practitioners and sharers in London.
How did this gathering come about?
Over recent times, many of us have been aware of the need for greater connectivity amongst NVC sharers and practitioners in London and in 2016 there were many discussions, hangout spaces, dinners, a film showing, NVC mediations, picnics in the park, and the Community Day in July 2016 at Olden Garden, as well as numerous workshops and trainings.
Alongside this you may also be aware that the global NVC network is reorganising itself. We aim to increase awareness of this reorganisation and although not all NVC practitioners in London may feel a connection to the global NVC organisation, there may be some benefit to anyone interested in organising collectively, from the insights that the global NVC network is sharing through its channels.
Note: This is not a practice group or training in NVC. We will be focussing on developing the London NVC network and the day will be held with NVC consciousness.

Tea and cake & socialising
We need to start tidying up at 5.30 and be out the space at 6pm on the dot.
Please bring a willingness to share about your recent personal learning journey with NVC or the NVC projects you are involved with. Or if you are new to NVC, you can talk more about what you hope to gain by connecting up to the community. There have been some developments in the NVC London community since our meeting in November and we will hear about those. There was a whole stack of ideas generated in November that need people to take them forward. If you have new ideas for NVC-inspired projects this could be a space to develop them.
Please bring food to share.
Also a small contribution of around £5 towards event costs will be welcome.
