Resilient Together - Weekend 2

'Communicate to Connect' & 'Empathy Essentials'

21. - 23. November 2025

Arrive Friday afternoon and settle into our Ecovillage Laboratory, choosing your nest among treehouses, clay cottages, or caravans. Over the weekend we live as a small community, sharing meals and moments of connection. Saturday and Sunday focus on the Resilient Together trainings, held either in the valley’s inspiring spaces or at the nearby Resonancia Hub. Each day begins with a communal breakfast, continues with deep learning, and softens into evenings by the fire or in the octagonal Heart of the Valley. Nourishing vegetarian lunches are provided, while our kitchen mandala guides us to co-create other meals. With time to explore, rest, and connect, the weekend blends training and community into an experience of growth, belonging, and shared inspiration.

Communicate to Connect

NVC Fundamentals to Cultivate Connection with Yourself & Others

Empathy Essentials

The Art of Effective & Compassionate Listening
23. November 2025

Most of us long for deeper listening, yet often find ourselves unheard - or distracted in our own listening. This one-day training explores the lost art of empathy through games, exercises, and practices that cultivate real connection. Gain skills to transform stress, improve relationships, and bring more compassion, healing, and joy into your life.
