Virginia 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.

    2nd and 4th Tuesday evenings: 7:00 - 9:00 p.m. Oakton, Virginia.  In this practice group, which has been meeting in the Oakton area for several years, we explore NVC themes. If you have some prior experience with NVC please contact us about possible openings -- we value the intimacy of a small group and our meeting space is close to capacity, and still, we enjoy the expanded perspectives that new members bring. For information or questions, contact Terri Fischer at 703-638-5995 or fischer [dot] terri [at] gmail [dot] com.
