  • Web site: http://www.nvcti.com
  • Level: beginning/intermediate/advanced 7 day intensive exploring the beauty of needs
  • Description: "The Living Energy of Needs” supports the ongoing development of foundational NVC skills and consciousness. In addition to supporting core NVC skills, we have continued to develop our training over the past five years to help participants practically access and live from a deeper dimension of needs. We weave the experience of the living energy of needs throughout the training, as the core dimension from which we learn and live the NVC process.
