NVC Intensive Course. Level 2

– Have you already learnt the main distinctions and assumptions of NVC and want to deepen your practice?

– Do you think you are not skilled enough to deal with conflicts and difficult feelings like anger, shame or guilt, and would like to change it?

– Would you like to be able to offer compassionate understanding to others and to yourself more often?

– Do you wish for a safe space to practice NVC and explore your challenges?

If you have answered YES to these questions, we are inviting you to our NVC Intensive Course. Level 2. It is aimed at people who know the basics of Nonviolent Communication and now would like to broaden their knowledge and skills.

Thanks to deepening your NVC skills you can forget about being bored by staying on the surface in your communication. You will become more aware of the dynamics of relationships and experience the aliveness of connecting on the level of needs with more ease.

During this training course, you will:

♦ deepen your (self-)empathy skills and practice using empathy in your daily life; 

♦ understand better and become more open to your and others’ difficult emotions like anger, shame and guilt; 

♦ discover what supports your authenticity and how to stand up for who you are;

♦ learn ways to stay in difficult conversations even when they are intensive and full of strong feelings;

♦ get to know how to navigate through inner and outer conflicts in a way that is enriching instead of draining and tiring;

♦ practice expressing gratitude and appreciation and cherish the fulfilment of the needs in your relationships.

We love holding the space for those of you who want to embody the competencies that make your life more wonderful. It’s a pleasure for us to create a community of people who want to find the courage to stay open-hearted in scary or challenging situations.

What participants say about our workshops:

⭐ The NVC Intensive Course unexpectedly brought a great change of awareness to my way of communicating with, and understanding, my surroundings. We were given great communication tools and exercises throughout the course. Communication tools to use even after the course. The group dynamic with fellow peers was beautiful. The professionalism and vast knowledge of the trainers was nothing but impressive. I highly recommend this course. Nella

⭐ In an intimate and authentic space you can learn and experience possibilities to connect more in-depth with life… That are surprising and touching moments. Pari

⭐ Connecting with the community was very valuable. Putting theory into practice. Making NVC more accessible. Giving more clarity to the internal processes. The practice with the roleplays was very good. 

⭐ I really enjoyed the connection and a lot of practice. To be able to connect with the participants in such personal ways, in all different settings… In and outside of the course, when we were in the home groups, or with empathy buddies. It was very supportive to have so many practice opportunities, I wish it would go on forever – there is still so much to learn.

⭐ After NVC Intensive Course (Level 1) I’m feeling calmer. And in some situations, I feel more confident because I have now a tool for communication.

⭐ Thanks to NVC Intensive Course (Level 1) I am a bit more confident and secure in being able to reach out to people to reflect on situations happening in life. The focus of conversations changed: it is more about first connecting in conversation.
