Compassion, Connection, Community ~ 8 Week online Introductory Course on Nonviolent Communication (NVC)

How can I connect more deeply with my partner?

How can I speak to my children in ways that are both honest and empathic?

How can I give feedback to my colleagues without blame or defensiveness?

How can I talk to myself with the same compassion and clarity I long to offer others?

If any of these questions resonate with you, this eight-session introductory course in Nonviolent Communication (NVC) may be just what you’re looking for.

At the surface, NVC offers a set of simple yet powerful tools for communicating and connecting more effectively. At its depth, it’s a profound worldview—one rooted in interconnectedness, interdependence, compassion, and clarity.

Most of us learned to communicate unconsciously—from our parents, teachers, and culture. Yet so much of our everyday speech (and self-talk) is filled with judgment, blame, and “right–wrong” thinking. This language, though well-intentioned, so often leads to disconnection.

NVC invites us to bring mindfulness into our communication—to speak and listen from the heart. It’s a practice of transforming habitual reactions into responses grounded in empathy and authenticity.

In this course, you’ll learn how to:

  • Listen empathically to yourself and others

  • See conflict as a portal to deeper connection

  • Apply the four-step NVC model with clarity and ease

  • Work skillfully with guilt, shame, and anger

  • Cultivate compassion and self-acceptance

Through experiential exercises, real-life examples, and guided reflection, you’ll begin to embody a new way of relating—one that fosters trust, honesty, and genuine connection.

I hope to see you there!
