dearest community...

It is in a couple of months that we will gather for community, connection, care, sharing and fun within NVC.  As a team this year we explored a date for a reduced price - this was a strategy to support us track number's and have some clarity about the camp's viability.  We have now just extended this date to the 28th April and I am writing to let you know this. 

And I have a request - if you are willing, please do share news of this rather unique opportunity for us to gather in this way in an all age community.  It is for me an amazing opportunity to be alongside both the play in the wild team as well as some highly committed folk from Europe who for me offer a deeply inspiring learning experience. 

Any questions/thoughts - please do come back to me.

with my love as ever, gayano xx

 

Compassionate Community Retreat in May View this email in your browser Saturday 25th – Friday 31st May 2013 Thornbridge Outdoors, Derbyshire About A week-long programme including workshops and play to transform relationships, build community, live together sustainably and engage with conflict. Everyone’s needs matter – no matter how old you are! The retreat is for both families AND for adults coming without children. Read more... “On the way home from the camp I was filled with such love and emotion for the orchestrating of something so life changing, so uniquely different…but just right.”   Parents: Is this you? You want to do the very best for your kids: to raise them according to your values, of love, kindness, fairness and reverence for life. But often it feels like you leave yourself out of the equation, and end up exhausted, undernourished, resentful even. Then you can flip from the loving parent you want to be to the angry parent you never wanted to become. Read more... “You can’t make your kids do anything. All you can do is make them wish they had. And then, they will make you wish you hadn’t made them wish they had.” – Rosenberg   Coming without children? Is this you? You’re realising how important communication is, and yet how entrenched some of your patterns of communicating are. Once you start becoming aware of it, you realise how many of the ways you express yourself come from your parents, even the kids you went to school with. It’s not your way of expressing, it’s something you’ve picked up along the way. Read more... "The hardest battle is to be nobody but yourself in a world that is doing its best night and day, to make you like everyone else." - E.E. Cumings   The Team Leaders Catherine Cadden, Jesse Wiens, and the Play in the Wild! Animator Team will collaborate with experienced NVC practitioners from several different European countries. Read more... Jesse Wiens “The greatest revolution in our generation is that of human beings, who by changing the inner attitudes of their minds, can change the outer aspects of their lives.” - Marilyn Ferguson   Bookings Adults: £425 - £475 for indoor accommodation or £350 - £400 for camping. Young people of 6 – 17 £150.  Children of 1 – 5 £75. Babies under 1 free.  Possible discounts and scholarships. Read more... "To practice non-violence, first of all we must learn to deal peacefully with ourselves." - Thich Nhat Hahn   FAQs Why come? How many people will be there? Is it all camping? What if I can't afford what you are asking? Do I need to know about NVC? What's a typical week like? What do I need to bring?
