Submitted on Mar 28, 2020

ORNCC would like to support you. We are offering up to $100/facilitator, coach or trainer to keep NVC connection alive while we can't meet in person with other NVC practitioners. We have ten scholarships available for purcahse of a service such as Zoom (we aren't pushing this platform, it is just the one we use for our monthly meetings).

We are committed to finding solutions that address such issues at the systemic level...

Attention Roseburg, Hood River, Medford - Request a Training!

Submitted on Oct 15, 2018

Do you yearn for a vibrant NVC community? And perhaps you are wondering how to make that happen? One way is to partner with ORNCC to create a training in your community.

Empathy Tent up and running in Eugene

Submitted on Mar 29, 2017
