Gregory Rouillard

Gregory grew up a long time ago in a small mountain town in the U.S. state of Colorado. He attended the Naval Academy and served as a pilot in the Marine Corps for twenty years. Following this first career, he has been increasingly drawn to the principles and practices of community, including how people relate with each other, how they make decisions together and how they respond to conflict.

For more than fifteen years, Gregory has been supporting people in various communities around the U.S. and in Europe to create effective systems and structures for living, working and learning together. These communities include numerous Nonviolent Communication (NVC) organizations, cohousing communities, schools and faith communities. In recent years his attention has turning more frequently to offerings related to individual and collective spiritual development and mindfulness.

Since 2015 Gregory has been coming to Kalikalos every summer in a variety of roles and since 2019 has been spending winters in Austria and summers in Greece. He is humbly thrilled to join Gabrielle for a third year of offering this transformative workshop at Kalikalos.

Gregory holds a Master of Divinity degree from Naropa University and is an authorized Mindfulness Instructor. He is also a Certified Trainer with the Center for Nonviolent Communication.
