Maryland Practice Groups

Joining an NVC practice group is a highly effective way of deepening your practice of NVC, and is also likely to offer satisfying interpersonal connections. These practice groups are independently organized. Capital NVC is not responsible for their operation. Information on practice groups is provided here as a service to the community.

  • Baltimore Monthly Workshop
    Maryland

    This Baltimore group is a hybrid - a core group meets one Sunday afternoon a month in the Park Heights area for an NVC workshop and practice. To help orient "newbies" we usually spend about half an hour focusing on NVC principles. It's no surprise to "oldies" that this adds depth to our understanding too.  Usually the specific date and topic is announced in the Events section of the website.

    The workshop fee is $15, requested only if given with comfort.

  • Takoma Park Friday Morning Practice Group
    Maryland

    Friday Mornings, 10:30-12:30

    A daytime Practice Group for those who want NVC learning, growth, connection and empathy—at a time that might better fit into their schedules. This is a “Deepening Skills” group, with some previous NVC experience requested.

    This is an on-going group whose members commit to making ongoing attendance a priority over a period of time. The group has decided to 'stay small', so there is often a waiting list for prospective members.

    Facilitated by Jeanne Marcus and Julia Jarvis. Contact: jdmarcus [at] comcast [dot] net or juliajar [at] erols [dot] com to register, to get more information, or for questions about experience requested.

  • Takoma Park Weekly Tuesday Evening Practice Group
    District of Columbia ! Maryland

    We meet a few blocks from the Takoma Metro every Tuesday night from 7:30 pm - 9:30 p.m. This is an open, weekly drop-in group.   Our usual format is to have short check-ins, then an NVC teaching piece for the whole group, and some time for work in pairs or triads, either empathy or practice related to the learning piece. We often use role plays or worksheets and also have used the Empathy Labyrinth and Dance Floors.  We have a rotating set of facilitators bringing us fresh ways of practicing! For more information and directions contact: Kathy Caroll 202.723.2233 or Mary Liepold 301.593.4999.
