When everything around you is shifting, where do you find your footing? 🌿

Tomorrow, join Iris Bawidamann, CNVC-certified trainer and one of the trainers of IIT Slovenia 2026, for an experiential online session:

IIT Slovenia Circles of Connection: Iris Bawidamann – Steady Within - Cultivating stability

🗓 Tuesday, 18 August
⏰ 19:00 CEST | 10:00 AM PT
💻 Online

Together, we’ll explore a simple Living Compassion practice and what it can mean to find steadiness, presence and connection from within — even when life around us is changing.

This gathering is part of Circles of Connection, our online series leading up to IIT Slovenia 2026. These gatherings are a way to meet the trainers, experience different aspects of NVC and begin building the community before we meet in Slovenia in October.

✨ No previous NVC experience is needed.

🌿 IIT Slovenia 2026
16–25 October · Pohorje, Slovenia
9 days · 5 international trainers

Join us tomorrow — registration link in bio / comments.

Some things are difficult to learn from a book.

How to stay present when a conversation becomes uncomfortable.
How to hear what's underneath someone's words when you strongly disagree.
How to notice your own reactions before they take over.
How to be honest without losing connection.
These are things we learn through practice — with real people, in real moments.

And perhaps this is what makes an IIT different.

For nine days this October, we'll have the unusual luxury of time. Time to practice Nonviolent Communication, to get curious about the places where it gets difficult, to learn from five international trainers — and just as much from being together with people coming from different lives, cultures and perspectives.
All of this will happen surrounded by the forests of Pohorje, here in Slovenia.

Could this be your October?

IIT Slovenia 2026 · 16–25 October 🌿

For residents of Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro, Kosovo and North Macedonia, the special regional tuition of approx. €1,130 is available for just 2 more days — until 16 August.
