What is my intention? – Matjaz Kovse

Join us for an engaging session, where we will delve into a fundamental concept of Nonviolent Communication: intention. The core aim of NVC is to cultivate a quality of connection that enables us to understand, recognize, and value each other’s needs. This connection empowers us to collaboratively explore ways to meet these needs, even in moments of anger or reluctance to connect. NVC also aspires to foster broader social change.

In this session, we will engage in exercises to enhance our awareness of personal intentions, focus on intentions that promote connection, and examine how our current intentions align with our thoughts, words, and actions. We will also explore how to live in harmony with our understanding of social change.

Matjaz Kovse first encountered Nonviolent Communication in 2011 and is a Certification Candidate at the International Center for Nonviolent Communication (CNVC). Born in Slovenia, he has been living in Vienna since 2020. His initial motivation for studying Nonviolent Communication was driven by social change and the linking of various emancipatory movements. Since then, he has been fascinated by the applications of Nonviolent Communication on a personal and interpersonal level.

In his free time, he enjoys Argentine tango, spending time in nature, poetry, and exploring the wonders of life. He is also inspired by Sociocracy, Resonant Healing & Neuroscience (Sarah Peyton), Natural Health (Nature Cure & Natural Hygiene), Work That Reconnects, Deep Ecology, and Spiral Dynamics.
