Cost: £150 - Receiving this amount supports me to be sustainable and to keep doing the work of sharing Nonviolent Communication. At the same time I know that for some people paying £150 makes the course unaffordable and I want NVC to be accessible to everyone.  If you would like to discuss paying a different amount, please email sarahbolera@yahoo.co.uk so we can agree something that meets everyone's needs.
