About the NVC Academy
The NVC Academy, LLC was established January of 2006 by Mark Schultz of Sedona, Arizona and Mary Mackenzie of Flagstaff, Arizona. It was created as a result of many heartfelt conversations where we shared our longing to greatly increase the number of people who are able to learn Nonviolent Communicationsm and thereby increase the very real possibility of world peace.
The Dalai Lama says that if we think world peace is possible only by restricting conflict, we are missing the point. Conflict is part of being human. To attain world peace, we must learn how to be in conflict with an intention for resolution.
The NVC Academy expands opportunities for people from all over the world to learn tools for focusing on resolution through Nonviolent Communication. Our goals are to:
- Make NVC available to all people, even those who live in geographies with no local trainers.
- Give NVC practitioners access to the worldwide network of certified trainers.
- Accelerate the NVC learning process.
- Help people connect with the trainers they most resonate with.
- Provide direct financial support to the international certified trainer network.
- Introduce NVC to large populations of people not yet acquainted with the process.
- Most of all, have some fun and add to life!
