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!
