Camp Organisation

As much as possible the camp is led by the community with decisions made in the morning circle each day.


Pre-camp organisation (hiring the site and equipment, taking bookings etc) is done by Barney.


At camp the holding team, will meet daily to help camp run smoothly, this could be dealing with practical problems, making sure that people feel able to speak up, supporting anyone who needs help, and anything else that needs attending to.


The holding team is: Rik, Ron, K2/Simon, Barney, Amy and more to be confirmed

Barney Phillips – 

Since I first found NVC I have been impressed by what can be achieved when it is used, the growth in connections and understanding. Initially I struggled to use it in my daily life, I found coming to a camp and living with people who are all trying to practice and live NVC really helped me to integrate it in to how I live.

I started helping to organise the camp as I want to contribute to the growth of NVC.

Rik Midgeley – CNVC Certified NVC Trainer

I am passionate about the growth of NVC consciousness, living in presence in tangible awareness of what is of value to me. I find this to be my empowerment, my capacity to live in a space of choice, and to contribute compassionately to social change. I run NVC workshops which focus upon the art of taking ownership for the underlying energies that drive thoughts, words and actions, and in awareness and movement that I call Self-Connection Qigong.
