Videos Created by

First Generation NVC Team Members

Forming First Generation NVCers and creating these videos has been precious to us — we offer them freely. Our hope is that you will refrain from selling them or using them for profit. 

We would like these to be widely used and each used in its entirety.  If you wish to use only a portion of a video we request that you contact us to discuss it. 

We would like to acknowledge and offer gratitude to Maria Arpa, Carolyn Davies, Lauchlan and Chris Gillett. Without their support and hours of dedication to their craft, this project would not have become a reality.
