Rapid Prototyping ToolsTuition fee
Natural giving and gift economy
Organization of this event requires a significant budget to cover expenses such as facilitator and interpreter fees, organizer expenses, travel, accommodation and food for the team, and the cost of the venue. We believe that this training is of great value and provides a unique learning opportunity for all participants.
We understand that not everyone may have the financial means to fully support the event and we encourage everyone to get involved in the process of financial co-responsibility. We encourage those who can, to contribute to the best of their abilities, recognizing that this training is a collective effort and a shared experience. By adding extra contribution, we want to remind you that your support can help make the training accessible to individuals with limited resources.
We understand that some of you may need to ask for a reduced fee because of a different financial situation, and we want to assure you that all the requests are going to be considered throughout the registration period.

Tuition fee
Tuition fee covers costs of workshop materials, booklets, trainers travel and work costs and covers at least four workshops or sessions offered by the trainers per day.
Contributor Rate
This is an invitation for everyone wishing to give more than the standard rate, as long as it is financially possible and enjoyable. By choosing this rate, you will support the financial balance of the training and the purpose of inviting more people into NVC. we also suggest the contributor rate for facilitators, therapists, coaches… and anyone whose professional lives may be enriched by this training.
Standard rate
By paying the standard rate you are supporting trainers and the organization to keep offering events like this and NVC teachings to the world.
Reduced rate
We are deeply yearning to live in a world that fully values and includes difference and diversity. We do believe that every one of us can contribute to making life meaningful and fulfilling. We are also convinced that being with people from different socioeconomic backgrounds in the same group contributes to the richness of our relational experience. We are committed to making NVC accessible to anyone regardless of their financial resources by offering a reduced rate on a sliding scale. It is essential, however, that this rate is not seen as a convenient rate. Based on trust, it is meant to support those who would not be able to access the retreat otherwise.
