The main purpose of this gathering is to celebrate and develop the London NVC network. There will be opportunities for:
- socialising and strengthening connections
- developing a sense of community and belonging
- learning and skills development
- offering sessions and receiving empathic support (organised in Open Space afternoon)
- dancing and eating 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. In 2017, there was a Network development afternoon in March at Calthorpe Garden.
