Certified Trainers at the Center for Nonviolent Communication

Candidata a la certificación con el Centro para la Comunicación Noviolenta

Estoy muy contenta de ser anfitriona y organizar el IIt en México 2022.

He participado en varios grupos de estudio y práctica de Comunicación No Violenta, (algunos que duraron varios meses), manteniéndome presente a los distintos contextos en los que la CNV se ha puesto en práctica: Empresas, escuelas, Grupos de familias, organizaciones sociales, etc.. Soy socióloga de profesión, y he trabajado en distintas áreas de la educación por más de 20 años. 

En el 2015 colaboré en la organización del 1er Entrenamiento Intensivo Internacional (IIT, por sus siglas en inglés) en español, en México de Comunicación No-Violenta, del Centro de Comunicación No Violenta, siendo Coordinadora del 2do IIT de Comunicación no Violenta, en septiembre de 2016 y  del 3ro en 2018 en México.

Actualmente colaboro con Master Peace - México y Sofie de Wulf en proyectos en para escuelas y en sesiones de profundización alrededor de la CNV.

Ha struggled for a long time to find a way to be true to herself while living harmoniously in relationships and contributing to the organizations and communities she belongs to. In 2019, the answer came when she learned about Nonviolent Communication. Since then, Ha has been learning, practicing and sharing NVC with individuals and organizations who want to nurture connections with themselves and others. Ha completed two NVC International Intensive Training. However, the most effective training ground for her has been her home, where she applies NVC with her large extended family and her two daughters..

Exploring my internal world, and the external motivates the journey of my life, and I seek ways to live with integrity and harmony. Alongside other beautiful practices that I have embraced, like yoga and ayurveda, NVC enables me to uncover my inner-self further, and to foster more meaningful connections with people around. My journey with NVC began 4 years ago with reading the book, and I could feel its transformative energy. The 9-Day IIT I attended was a heart-opening experience, with absolutely brilliant trainers (some listed above on this page!). Bringing elements of NVC into my everyday life helps me in understanding needs of self and others better, in both personal and professional situations. I hope more and more people find access to such knowledge, and benefit from it. To be a part of the organizing team for this IIT is a small way in which I can contribute to the community, and this makes me happy.

Nessa Dertnig discovered NVC for the first time while on a permaculture course in 2011, and since then has studied with a variety of trainers in the United States and Europe.

She is currently deepening her practice as a candidate for trainer certification.

NVC explorer

I started my NVC journey in 2005, inspired by the changes that suddenly happened for my mother, after many years of her suffering from social fear/phobia.The reason for her change was her inner work with the NVC tools.
My own goal was, the thought of, that maybe, I could learn to be the peace in the world, I wanted. Still learning ; )

Besides being still in training, I have had motivating experience using the tools from NVC in case management for debilitating illness, and have offered support to others who needed help in similar situations. It can be between state departments and a challenged person, between sick person and hospital ect.

I was involved in organising the IIT in Denmark in 2017, which was a joyful, heartwarming and motivating experience. To be in a place, surrounded by people from different cultures and parts of the world, all willing to dive into the NVC world, landed in me as a totally magical experience, and I would like again, to contribute to the outer form and frame for an IIT, in which that may unfold again.
