Program Intentions & Goals
The PPLP is a nine-month program aimed at nurturing and developing leaders who are committed to spreading NVC to parents in their communities, especially in those regions where there are no NVC trainers. Through a variety of program components, the PPLP hopes to provide these leaders the experience, skills and support they need to successfully support other parents who want to learn and practice NVC in their families. The PPLP is a program of the Peaceful Families, Peaceful World Project of the international Center for Nonviolent Communication and BayNVC.Program Information
The PPLP begins in October 2011 and runs through June 2012, and is structured as a long-distance program in order to support participation by lay leaders throughout the world. The components of the program include regularly scheduled teleclasses, weekly study suggestions, buddy relationships, and individualized tele-support.
A maximum of 20 peer leaders will be selected to participate in the program based on a number of different criteria including experience and skill with NVC; commitment to living NVC and sharing NVC with parents; geographical location; and ability to commit to the various program components. We anticipate that most participants will be parents, but non-parents who want to focus primarily on sharing NVC with parents are also welcome. We estimate that the program will involve a 4-8 hour weekly commitment from participants, not including the time spent at Family Camp. In addition, our intention is that all participants will initiate and lead parent groups focused on empathy and NVC practice in their local communities starting in March 2011 and continuing for at least one year after the end of the program.

for each individual. A compassionate parenting advocate and author,

Stephanie Bachmann Mattei (CNVC Certified Trainer)
Stephanie was born and raised in Florence, Italy, where she earned her Bachelor in Languages and a Ph.D. in Philosophy. Stephanie moved to the USA in 1993, when she married her beloved husband. Together they are parenting their 3 self-educated children: two biological boys, and one daughter, who joined the family through adoption.
Stephanie's core intertwined themes in life are: spirituality, parenting and healing. Once she became a mother, serving for over 10 years as a volunteer Leader with La Leche League International, becoming a BCI Certified Parenting Educator, and serving as an NVC based teleclass facilitator and family coach with the Consciously Parenting Project, an organization that ties love-based parenting with neuroscience. Her latest interest is tying parenting with mindfulness practices both for parents and for kids. She loves playing with and learning from kids.
Inbal Kashtan has been the first CNVC Trainer that profoundly touched Stephanie, and introduced her to the practical applications of NVC and Parenting: in 2006 Stephanie graduated from the "Peer Parent Leadership Program," -- created and led by Inbal-- and has been involved in this NVC program ever since: as Assistant Trainer first and then as Co-Trainer.
Stephanie is also deeply grateful to have been given the opportunity to serve both at the East Coast "NVC And Diversity Retreat" and the "New York Intensive Residential Training" as the Children's Program Trainer for several years.
Stephanie also serves at the NVCA (http://www.nvctraining.com) as a Teleclass Coordinator and Trainer, offering telecourses often in partnership with CNVC Certified Trainer John Kinyon.
