Nonviolent Communication

Nonviolent Communication Basics

In this course, we explore together how we can be with each other in our differences. We learn how to communicate more effectively with our loved ones, colleagues and even with people who share opposite opinions. 

• How can I feel understood, even when you see things differently?
• How can I connect with people who think, feel, or live differently from me?
• How to navigate conflict without losing myself or the other?
• How to meet diversity with curiosity instead of fear?

Before connecting with others, we get to know ourselves: Find out what is behind our triggers and judgments, identify our feelings and needs. This inner clarity strengthens our self empowerment and the ability to meet others on eye level instead of betraying ourself, giving up our wishes, or dominating the conversation. We learn to better understand each other in our differences and invite cooperation.

We explore movements beyond polarizing debates, while staying true to ourselves, so we can belong a bit more rather than merely fit in. 

We research how to:

• Listen more deeply to ourself and gain inner clarity about our needs and what really matters to us
• Realise when we need self care before connecting with others
• Find inner clarity when we’re triggered
• Stand honestly for our needs, express our wishes and invite cooperation
• Grow capacity in understanding other viewpoints 
• See the beautiful messages behind our judgments and the judgments of others
• Be in conflict with care and connection
