Make NVC become a fluid language

The Intermediate Course is designed to support you in deepening into NVC and making it become a fluid language. A language you can use in millions of everyday life situations to transform conflicts and turn misunderstandings into moments of connection and cooperation – at home, work and everywhere.

For me NVC is not a theory

I want to embody and live it: NVC is a paradigm shift, a profound change in the way I learn to think and relate to myself and others.
It’s very hard to learn NVC alone. We live in a ‘Jackal educated society’, so it makes sense that to live NVC consciousness at home and work is highly challenging and we need support. This course is designed to help us grow together as a community of Giraffes. To support each other in living, learning and embodying NVC both inside and outside of class.

Content

We will address topics such as:

❀  The Dilemma of Honesty – Peeling the Onion toward Vulnerable Honesty

❀  Refining Empathy – Bridging Guesses, Juicing the Needs and more

❀  Liberating from Guilt – a core confusion that leads to tragic actions.

❀  Connecting Beyond (differences in) Opinions

❀  How to enjoy when people complain (even about us)

❀  The Art of Being Torn – how to make decisions that include all the many parts within us

❀  The Beauty of the Need – deepening into the core essence of NVC

❀  Celebration & Mourning as an art of living

❀  Healing Dialogues – transforming hurt and building trust.

❀  Moving from demand energy

❀  Expressing No in Giraffe (and staying alive)

❀  And more…

Learning style

You will be invited to work on examples from your own life in an interactive and safe learning environment. We will practice Nonviolent Communication through demonstrations, role-play and exercises in order to integrate NVC values and language more into our daily lives.
The way we teach is: 30% Theory and 70% of Practice/Demonstration/Learning from LIVE situations that are happening in the here and now. Our focus is very much on the Embodied aspect of ‘Nonviolent Communication’, so be ready to dive.

Extra support

Assistants: We will have assistants accompanying us during this course. They’ve already completed the Basic, Intermediate, Advanced and Year Courses with us and some are engaged in their steps toward teaching/sharing NVC.

Desired amount of experience

This course is open to you if you’ve completed a minimum of 30 hours of NVC training, or have completed Connecting2life’s Basic or Connecting with Children Courses.

Fee

– For the ONLINE, 10 session courses: the fee is a choice of between €250-€500 (choice is depending on your income and free will).

– For the FACE TO FACE, 10 session courses: the fee is a choice of between €320-€640 (choice is depending on your income and free will).

→  The choice of fees depends on your income and free will. The idea behind a sliding scale is that we all have different current financial situations, and we like to be flexible so that your financial contribution fits your financial situation as well as your personal wish to support us.
→  Invoices are Vrijgesteld (VAT free).

❤ Regarding Money
We wouldn’t want money to prevent anyone from learning NVC! We see money as a strategy to care for the sustainability of our giving. It’s important for us to have a sense of mutual contribution. ‘Receiving’ supports us in meeting our practical stability (money), as well as supports us emotionally to be in balance and keep our hearts open to more giving. While we stand firmly for our need of mutual contribution, we’re flexible about possible strategies on how to meet this need. Money is our preferred strategy, as it’s easy for us to transfer it to the exact things that contribute to us. That being said, if the amount we ask would prevent you from joining, we can offer the following:
1. If you’re coming from a country where the income/currency is lower than the prices in euros, we’re open to finding a price that makes sense and keeps hearts open.
2. If you’re currently having a challenging period financially, you can pay us at a later date when your finances are better. Sometimes people even pay us a few years later.
3. We’re open to brainstorming other ways you can contribute to us, though it’s not always easy to find things that both you would enjoy contributing and that would actually be contributing to us.
