We might all have one important thing in common: no matter what our role is—whether we are parents, children, bosses, friends, healers, or leaders—we all need to master communication!

This is a free introduction to ‘Nonviolent Communication (NVC),’ offering you an experiential taste of the paradigm shift NVC provides in the way we think, feel, and act in our relationships and in the world.

An NVC Pilgrimage:

I met NVC in 2001 and ever since I’ve been extremely passionate about applying it in my life. In 2008, I put aside my dance and performance career to dedicate my full time and energy to sharing NVC.

Today, 16 years later, I lead NVC workshops all around the world, in person and online. I created Connecting2life, an NVC center in Amsterdam, sharing the practice of Nonviolent Communication widely to the open public, teams, businesses, schools and more.

Applying the NVC principles, I envision a new paradigm of existence, for myself and for others. It is an inner and outer revolution in the way we learned to think, relate, and behave, and in the way we learned to see and understand the world. My mission is to facilitate life-serving relationships to self and others (based on deep trust in our own body signals: feelings and needs), and the creation of life-serving systems and social structures. I do this by seeking to live the NVC principles in every corner of my own life as well as sharing it with others.

Nonviolent Communication (NVC) is a simple, powerful and extremely effective tool for improving our communication skills in all our relationships (including the relationship with ourselves).

NVC helps us see clearly what blocks our communication from being effective and it teaches us what we can do differently to communicate in a way that actually work for us: where we live the very values and intentions we try to manifest with the people and relationships we care about.
NVC is like taking my meditation cushion into real life. It is Meditation in action.
NVC is a deep inner revolution goes deeply into the very way how we learn to think and act in the world.
NVC shows a path to connect through conflicts and misunderstandings and build the ground for natural flow of trust, cooperation and creativity.
It helps us heal wounds within ourselves and between us and others.
It moves us towards being the leaders we want to be and contributing in the way we desire in any given situation.
And more and more and more…

❀   How to be honest without being judgmental or demanding

❀  The power of Empathy to move mountains

❀  What unconsciously blocks communication, and what can we do differently to manifest our values in our relationships?

❀  And more and more…

NVC is widely used all around the globe as a tool for communication, conflict resolution, mediation, coaching and self-development.

NVC is successfully used in organizations, teams, businesses, politics, prisons, schools, families and relationships in millions of everyday life situations.

In this introduction, you will be invited to work on an example 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 I 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.

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

This Free introduction will take place ONLINE using zoom.
