NVC Dance Floors
for self-connection and dialogue
22-25 Oct, Netherlands
Join us for this multiple day training exploring the transformative power of the NVC Dance Floors. A unique and rare opportunity to learn with Gina Lawrie, one of the creators of the NVC Dance Floors and a pioneer in NVC. Gina will personally guide you through the beauty and the subtleties of the method, offering insights developed over many years of experience.
Over three rich, embodied days, Gina will lead you through a unique blend of physical expression and Nonviolent Communication, opening the door to more confidence, clarity, and connection in challenging conversations — both with yourself and with others.
Topics
During this worksop we will focus on the inner-outer aspect of the NVC Dance Floors. We will use self empathy to prepare for challenging dialogue. This will certainly involve the Self Empathy Dance, the Inner-Outer 13 Step Dance and probably the Inner-Outer Fluency Dance.
We will choose other inner dances as part of the self empathy according to the situations brought by participants, thereby both experiencing a range of Dance Floors and learning about choosing the best for each situation.

About NVC Dancefloors
The NVC Dance Floors are an experiential learning method that brings the principles of Nonviolent Communication into the body. Instead of only talking about feelings, needs, and choices, you step into them — literally.
Using large floor maps, movement, and guided reflection, the Dance Floors help you:
-
understand emotional processes in a clear, visual and embodied way
-
stay present in moments of inner conflict or emotional charge
-
move from reactivity to conscious choice
-
integrate NVC not just as a concept, but as a lived experience.
