About the Course
The Living Compassion programme is designed to provide a simple, flexible and affordable way to support busy parents to continue with their NVC journey. Through the programme, we will provide ongoing teaching, guidance and support in the context of a community of learning with other parents who are also wishing to bring the consciousness and skills of NVC into their daily lives with their children.
Course Duration
Starting 2024 - Ongoing
Course Content
Each month we will explore a new topic around how to integrate NVC into your family life.
