This Retreat was created in response to the longing from Australian and New Zealand NVC trainers to come together in person and enjoy being together as a community.
This is a co-creative gathering where workshops are led by participants. It will be a mixture of pre-planned and open space-generated workshops, activites, and spontaneous adventures and fun.
Dates
Monday 22nd July to Friday 26th July 2024. The Retreat officially begins at dinner on Monday night and ends after Breakfast on Friday. You can check-in to the venue from 2pm on Monday. Check-out is 11am on Friday.
You are also invited to join us for three online pre-Bribie gatherings where we will co-create the Bribie program and build excitement! These sessions will be facilited by Robin Clayfield and Shaz Rallings. These gatherings will be held in the NVCAus Community Zoom room. Please email us for the link.

For those who are wanting to be resourced in their sharing of NVC, either by feeling like part of a community of sharers or by sharing resources, etc. If you are a learner rather than a trainer or sharer, we have other events for you at NVCAustralia.com.
