Our NVC Community

Our website is representative of a growing community
of trainers and supporters of Nonviolent Communication
(NVC) committed to teaching and creating NVC consciousness throughout New Zealand Aotearoa.

Our community is an informal arrangement of people
contributing individual offerings, and holding legal responsibility
for their own offerings of NVC to the general public.

It includes volunteers who give freely and joyfully, time and
energy to this vision.

Our Vision

A world where all people are getting their needs met and resolving their conflicts peacefully and collaboratively.

Our Mission

To promote peace and transform violence by providing training in NVC skills and principles throughout New Zealand Aotearoa and the Pacific Islands and to collaborate with other projects with a similar vision.

CNVC Certified Trainer


Ron Ngata
Hamilton, NZ

Ron Ngata is a certified trainer with the Center for Nonviolent Communication (CNVC)  and has been providing training in New Zealand since his return from overseas in 2003.  He has done workshops with various groups and organisations across the country, including Waikato youth mentoring programmes, Lifeline counsellors, problem gambling services, domestic violence workers, educators and parents, and business managers and employees. He has found NVC to be an invaluable aid in helping people get past “enemy images” and to reconnect on a human level, whether the conflict be in business, politics, race relations, education, or personal relationships.
