Foundation Training - A Way into Nonviolent Communication
A comprehensive, practical overview of NVC principles, framework and purpose
AUDIENCE: beginner
Explore a practical process for communicating effectively and compassionately in challenging situations in your home, work and community.
Each weekend:
• Presents the foundational concepts and tools of NVC
• Provides the information and practice needed to start using the tools in daily life
• Uses an experiential style with real life examples
• Is challenging, moving, supportive and fun
• Uses a systemic lens to locate NVC’s purpose of radical social change
Like learning a foreign language, full fluency comes gradually, as understanding and practice integrate.

Build relationships based on compassion and understanding
Be assertive and resolve conflicts with confidence
Offer honest feedback without insulting others
Hear others with empathy, even when they speak in critical ways
Increase choice and self-care
Understand systemic impacts and break patterns of thinking that lead to anger, depression or guilt
