This 12 hour Nonviolent Communication training covers the basic foundations of NVC created by Dr. Marshall Rosenberg. It is highly recommended that you read “A Language for Life” here along with your participation in this course.

We practice listening and expressing ourselves in ways that are supportive of honouring and respecting of our own needs as well as those of others.

What is Nonviolent Communication?

“NVC is a learnable, practical way to bring empathy, honesty, strength and compassion into our personal and professional relationships (NVC-UK) It’s a way of communicating mindfully; supporting us in be authentic with other human beings in everyday situations, even when it’s challenging.

This is what some people share about the way NVC has enriched their lives.

This is what participants shared with me:

“I am so grateful for the opportunity in a session to work through a very traumatic conversation I had in my workplace which brought powerful revelation to me about myself and enabled me to connect with myself with compassion in a deeper way than I ever had done before. This has caused a seismic shift in the foundation of my identity resulting in more self-worth and self-compassion to enable me to connect deeper with empathy with those I love the most. Wow! I have been wanting to do an NVC course for a long time and this was the right time in my life when I was prepared and receptive to the incredible heart level healing it has brought me. As I continue on my NVC journey I am expectant and grateful for the increasing wholehearted connections that will flourish in my life, Lorraine, UK”

“The small group session was perfect to create a safe, open space to learn and practice NVC skills together. I have done various personal development training over the years, but for me NVC brings everything together clearly and as I apply these techniques, I can see the positive difference they make to me and others”  (Lyndsay McLean, UK)
