Open Space – Anyone can be a trainer!

This is very special: participants contribute their own topics, wishes, and offers to the group, and from this, the daily program is created anew and completely dynamically. This happens during the group’s morning meeting. Anyone who wants to can present their wish or offer, resulting in a variety of possibilities and opportunities, the “menu of the day.” This is recorded visually, and everyone is then free to move back and forth between the offers that interest them throughout the day.

Feedback

Maurice: „I’m already looking forward to next year. Somehow, the encounters between the sessions showed me a utopia of how people can be open, exchange ideas, and support each other in everyday life. For me, this field of experimentation was actually even more valuable than the sessions that created the framework for it.“

Feedback

Nicole: “Thank you all for your open hearts and arms.”

Feedback

Nicola: „I feel much more empowered and recharged. Everyday life is much easier. The ‚this is how I want to live‘ resonates completely. This colorful life with all its facets, this diversity, being welcome and openness: that’s what I want for my daughter Fiona and for us too.“

Feedback

Geylan & Jessie: „Yesterday on the way home, Jessie cried like I’ve never seen her cry before and said, ‘Mommy, I’m going to miss everything and everyone, and I’m so sad that it’s over. This is exactly how I want to live.’ And she wants a ramp to ride her Bobby Car. Thank you for the wonderful week with you.“

Feedback

Daniela: “The time with you flew by, and I am truly grateful to be able to feel a piece of home and yet, in mindfulness and self-care, not have to put myself on a stage. It did me a world of good! Jürgen, Iris, Oliver, Diana, Markus, and all contributors, I remain grateful for these precious days.”

    WHAT is the NVC SUMMER FESTIVAL?

    They come from near and far, by car, camper van, train, and sometimes even plane: individuals, couples, and entire families with children ranging from infants to teenagers meet once a year for the big NVC summer party! What used to be youth camps or tent camps still exists today, but now for all ages, and everyone celebrates together in an intense festival of togetherness. For one week, we create the world as we like it and realize: it’s not that hard! It works! With a little mindfulness, good will, and nonviolent communication, a vision of tomorrow’s society can become reality right here and now!

    Registration will open soon. Pre-Register HERE, if you want to be among the first to be informed, when registration opens.

    What makes a summer festival like this so unique, and how does it differ from other seminar weeks? There are quite a few differences…

    First and foremost, this is a “hands-on event” where you can decide the level of your involvement and intensity at any time.

    There is no fixed “team of trainers” who dictate and decide what happens. Anyone who wants to is invited to influence and shape the program, request activities, and even contribute and lead activities themselves. Everything is possible, nothing is mandatory. You can try your hand at being a host, trainer, game leader, etc., and/or sit back and see what activities are on offer at the large buffet.

    7 days in person, including accommodation and full board
