   We offer in-depth training in Nonviolent Communication (NVC) from an orientation we call the “Living Energy of Needs,” which helps people to access their inner resources and experience wholeness, well-being and empowerment from the inside-out.

   As a team and individually, we lead trainings worldwide in which we support participants in experiencing the Living Energy of Needs as the core dimension from which to learn and live the NVC process.

   We have offered our flagship seven-day retreat, "The Living Energy of Needs,” twenty-eight times in eight countries around the world since 2000.  Our two other programs are, “Creating Workplaces Where People Thrive” and our “NVC Train-the-Trainer.”

Jeff Brown    The NVC Training Institute (NVCTI) was established in the year 2000 to meet needs in our global NVC community for the learning of more advanced skills as well as support for trainer development.  Through our own personal practice -- and through more than sixty years of combined training experience on our team -- we have developed ways that help people access the universal life energy that lies beyond the conventional  or static NVC model.
