Journaling in Community
for CNVC Candidates and Certified Trainers

Journaling on a weekly basis keeps you connected and gives you regular opportunities to shift habitual responses, and this is how habits transform. You will have a chance to:

  • Be accompanied and witnessed in your growth and transformation
  • Practice using a structured journaling table provided in class
  • Get clarity about your issue
  • Take time to slow down so you feel calmer and more grounded

Journaling in community has helped to save marriages, facilitate a peaceful divorce, support nurturing parenting, and stave off unhealthy workplace stress. Structured NVC journaling is in community can be powerful, even when incremental.

The typical format is 1-2 minutes of self connection, check ins about what is most alive for everyone in the moment, journaling time (where you can also receive support from the facilitator), and a closing sharing for those who wish to share about their insights or questions.

To journal is a request as part of the certification process.

Interested in learning more? Why not try out our journaling group? It is not solely for candidates and community (with interest, I could initiate a new community series), and it’s a chance to try it.

Training Toolkits

Are you looking to offer communication training but you do not like creating curriculum? I am developing a trainer toolkit that may be of interest to you. Available to NVC practitioners with 10 or more days of training with certified trainers, the Communication Training Shoebox is a modular system that has concept cards, activity cards, participant handouts, and administrative handouts. You will be able to buy just the components you are most interested in, for example Key Differentiation concept cards. The puppets are available below. More is to come!  Would you like to be part of Beta-testing? Let me know.

If you would like to know more, contact me.
