Over both days, we’ll offer:
*** A dedicated beginner’s track of workshops with Jean Morrison, Eric Huang, and Caren Camblin to grasp the fundamentals, encounter NVC in a new way, or just get a refresher.
*** An experienced practitioner’s track of workshops with Kristin Masters and Caren Camblin, exploring our "stuck patterns," learning new ways to journal for self-empathy, and expanding our capacity to ask for what we want.
*** More workshops open to all levels, with the above trainers, plus Rick Longinotti and Mike Tinoco (new to NVC Santa Cruz!) on topics from Kingian Nonviolence, Robert Gonzales's Beauty of Needs, couples work, submission/autonomy, and even nonviolent rage.
