Welcome from CCCO

Welcome! No matter where you are on your Nonviolent Communication journey - whether brand-new or much more experienced - we hope our trainers can support you. CCCO is a hub of qualified NVC trainers, who each have their own unique approach to sharing this work. We hope the multiplicity of approaches will support you in finding and developing your own personal NVC practice. We are currently winding down for the summer and will be back again in full swing towards Fall.

Through CCCO, our trainers rotate offering quarterly Foundations of Compassionate Communication classes - 6 hour courses that give you the basics to begin your own practice (or refresher!); Practice Groups, 4 to 12 week meetings in community to practice your NVC skills, often with a particular angle or focus; and annual/bi-annual Professional Development.

We host regular Free Offerings, including 3x-Weekly Empathy Calls and a monthly 90-minute Intro to NVC. And, we also offer NVC resources through our newsletter to support your self-study and practice. We want NVC to be accessible to all, and are pleased to offer tiered pricing and financial support for these programs.

CCCO aims to serve YOU in your NVC journey, support our trainers in sharing NVC, and widen the community of those living and sharing NVC. Is there something else you want to see? Email us at info@speakingpeace.org.

Foundations of Compassionate Communication: Family Focus
a six-hour training with Elke Haggerty

June 6th & 7th, 10 am - 1pm EST (online)

CCCO offers quarterly Foundations training for newcomers and the experienced alike to learn (or refresh) the essential principles and skills of NVC. Our Summer quarter’s class will be taught by Elke Haggerty, with a focus on parenting and family.

With parenting examples and active practice, you’ll learn a way to:

De-escalate tension instead of triggering more
Understand what you need so you can respond instead of reacting
Ask for support without making demands that lead to resistance
Unpack what’s motivating your kids so they feel heard and you feel calmer

In our work to make NVC more accessible, each of our offerings has three different pricing options: subsidized, sustaining, and supportive to others. We encourage you to pay at the level that feels right for you.

We hope this newsletter brings you a sense of value, as we share resources and offer programming that we hope meets you where you are in learning and practicing NVC. We hope it provides a sense of community with others on this journey, and are eager to hear how you want to engage and what you need.
