Hi everyone!
Sorry Iāve been a bit absent from this threadā¦ Iāve been preoccupied with a fairly chaotic trip to New Zealand.
So according to the Doodle, thereās only one session when we could all potentially meet, which is Thursday 25 August from 7.30pm to 9.30pm. As such, I suggest we all commit to this date for session 1 so that we have a full group for the first one. We can do that at our place in St Guidon, and Iāll put dinner on for anyone who feels like coming along an hour earlier 
For sessions 2 and 3, I suggest Monday 29 August from 2pm to 6pm, which is the only other possibility for the majority of us to meet. For those that have to miss one or both of those sessions, the resources will still be available for you to do the sessions individually or in a smaller group. It might be nice to do that at someone elseās place, just to mix it up, but it is not problem at all to also do these sessions at our place.
@Lee - regarding participation, even though we could be a group of 8 without you for the first one, I think you could still come if you want to. Most of it is video watching and discussion (and maybe dinner), so I donāt see why it would be an issue to have 9. And if there was some aspect that you couldnāt participate in, you already have the most established background in NVC
@Lee - regarding payment, as youāve suggested that the Reef pay for this one in full, could you go ahead and book it? I assume thatās easier than me doing it and then claiming back off the Reef. If thatās not the case, Iām happy to book it myself, so let me knowā¦

For the dates it seems like Doodle glitches a little on the difference with the time zones, so the proposed dates in Belgium would come down to Wednesday 24 August 7:30 - 9:30 and then on Sunday 28 August from 2 to 6 pm. Iāll put it in the calendar.
The payment needs to be made by credit card and we donāt have one, but happy to take care of it.

Thanks @Lee !
I could see that the times were glitching, and it took me ages to make a plan because of thatā¦ didnāt even occur to me at that point that the dates were glitching as well :-/
Looking forward to this

Hello @ChrisM and @Lee . For what I see the group is already complete, I took a bit too much time to react. Anyway, the dates didnāt suit me. When the ressources are made available, Iāll be sure to look at them.

Hi @manuelpueyo and @ugne (and everbody),
The training course is progressive, meaning that what weāll learn on Sunday will build on what we will learn on Wednesday. If you would like to attend the Sunday only that is possible, but in that case it will be less disruptive for the others if you can catch up on the first part by yourself. Would that work?
Alternatively you can also just wait for the next group. We have access now for 6 months, so I am sure there will be another group taking the same training course.

I have bought access to the training course today. Would have time and be willing to take the lead on this one?
I have saved the login credentials in the usual place (Nextcloud > Team IT). To invite group members, the email says you need to go the āGroup management pageā.

@Lee Yes, happy to take the lead on this one. Iāll have a good look at everything tomorrow and do the invitations etc.
For all those attending, youāre welcome to come anytime from 6pm to have some dinner first. Iām going to make a veggie lasagne, and Iām more than happy to adapt it for anyone who has any special food requirements. Feel free to let me know if thereās any food that you canāt eat or prefer to avoidā¦

Thanks a lot @ChrisM! I donāt eat gluten though, so that seems like a long shot. Shall I just bring something for myself? Or maybe just some gluten-free pasta?
@Lee - no need to bring anything. Sarah has convinced me that a lasagne isnāt summery enough, so Iām doing a selection of saladsā¦ no problem to make them gluten free

So everyone should have received an email with the login details for the NVC 6-hour course (Lee, I think you might have ended up with two 
).
When you login you will see the course at the bottom of the page. Select the course. On the next page, under the title of the course, you will see two tabs: ācourseā and āmaterialsā. Click on materials, and you will see a link to āNVC activity bookā. Each person will need to print this activity book, which will cover all three sessions. If for any reason you donāt manage to do that yourself, we have a printer here. Iām not sure it will cope with printing it for everyone, but itās a backup option if needed.
Other than that, you just need to turn up tomorrow, from 6pm onwards for dinner or just before 7.30pm for the start of the courseā¦
