NVC From Inside Out!

NVC Dance Floor Workshop

A 3-Day International Training
September 18–20, 2026 • Stockholm, Sweden
With Shona Cameron (UK) , Certified CNVC Trainer

Discover the NVC Dance Floors, a unique, embodied way to learn, practice, and integrate Nonviolent Communication (NVC). Using large cards laid out on the floor, the Dance Floors turn complex NVC processes into clear, step-by-step practices.

This workshop will help you to:

– express yourself honestly
– respond to others with clarity and empathy.

Workshop Highlights

• Embodied learning — engage your body, emotions, and mind as you learn NVC process.
• Step-by-step guidance — understand and practice the 13 key NVC steps in a tangible, visual format.
• Role-playing made easier — practice real-life conversations in a safe, structured space.
• Integration and connection — explore self-empathy, transform judgments, and strengthen relational skills.
• Support for all learning styles — visual, kinesthetic, experiential, and verbal learners all benefit.

Note: No actual dancing is required!
The “Dance Floors” refer to the spatial card layouts for learning NVC, created by Bridget Belgrave and Gina Lawrie (NVCDanceFloors.com). This methodology, published in 2003, is now used worldwide in 20 languages.

“Bring NVC to life with clarity, sensitivity and depth — integrate your embodied experience of Nonviolent Communication.” Shona Cameron

Here are some testimonials from other participants

“I love the way Shona describes each Dance Floor, with passion and clarity. The way in which she accompanies people supports depth and integration.” Barry Jones, CNVC Certified Trainer

”I attended Shona’s training in 2024. It was my first more systematic exposure to NVC Dance floors. I loved how experiential it was, of course, we put every dance into practice right away. I still cherish the memory of how we explored the dances together with Shona and how many warm and heartfelt connections we created. It was one of those trainings you never forget. It inspired me to continue using the methodology in my everyday life, to explore it further, and eventually to translate it into my own language and share it with others.” – Polona Siter Drnovsek, CNVC Certified Trainer

“NVC Dance Floors have deeply transformed the way I live and understand NVC. For me, it’s become a powerful path toward self-awareness and a way of embodying the NVC process more fully. Being guided by Shona Cameron was a truly meaningful experience that will stay with me, both personally and in my role as a trainer. I learned so much from her and I deeply appreciate the clarity, gentleness, care, and goodwill she brings into the spaces she holds. I warmly invite anyone who feels called to offer themselves the gift of her workshops.” Stefana Forgaciu, CNVC Certified Trainer

About Shona Cameron

Here’s what Shona says: “I first heard about NVC in the summer of 2003. By the end of February 2004 I had spent 10 days with Marshall at the top of a mountain in Switzerland and I determined in myself to be like one of those NVC Trainers he was working with. I loved the ease of connection between them all, the fun and the depth—a delicious combination for me. I immediately found the NVC community in the UK and spent as much time as possible learning with them and other trainers around Europe and also the US. I became a Certified Trainer in 2006 and since that time have shared NVC both publicly and within my role as an Educational Psychologist. As part of my training I worked extensively with Gina Lawrie, one of the developers of the Nonviolent Communication Dance Floors. This Visio spatial way to integrate NVC is the main way I share this practice as the structure offers a clear grounding in the principles without losing the core of this work.”

“Shona has a remarkable ability to break the process of building an honest connection with another person into simple steps—starting with an honest, empathetic connection with oneself—and then teach participants the take-home skills to do this themselves.”
Andrew Layman Program Manager, Bellevue, WA, USA
