2-day foundation trainings present all the basic concepts and tools used in NVC. They give you sufficient information and practice to start using NVC effectively in your daily life - professional or personal. 2-day foundation trainings are also a pre-requisite for many of the further trainings in NVC available in the UK. We imagine that you will find attending one challenging, moving, supportive and fun!

These foundation trainings will be led by Daren De Witt, a London-based certified trainer with, and repre-sentative of, the international Centre for Nonviolent Communication. Daren has been practicing and teaching NVC since the year 2000.

We request that people prepare for foundation trainings by reading Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life, by Marshall Rosenberg (ISBN 1-892-005-03-4). You can read info and reviews about this book, as well as purchase it from Amazon via the link on the right. Or you can purchase it from Watkins bookshop on 19 Cecil Court, central London, WC2N 4EZ (near Leceister Square tube).

Alternatively, you can watch the DVD entitled "The Basics of Nonviolent Communication", which you can purchase in the UK at www.life-resources-shop.com

"This was a really enriching training programme. I was made to feel very comfortable and safe by the facilitators and the great group of co-trainees. Thank you - very inspiring!" - F Brooks.

"I want to express my gratitude again for a very special weekend . . . as powerful and as rich in ancient truth and wisdom as the principles of NVC are (and I believe Marshall to be one of the great teachers of the last century along with the likes of Gandhi, Luther King and Mandela), what we received was as much the part that you played in teaching us. I was profoundly touched by your willingness to share your own struggles and successes with us. Also, your presentation and facilitation skills were clear, connecting and seamless. I also get how important this work is to you personally and that was impacting too." - J. Kingston.
