6 hours of Nonviolent Communication training for small groups – learn at your own pace and online
Become a better communicator! With this video-led, self-serve course for groups, you can learn Nonviolent Communication (NVC) online or in person – “the language of life”!
Learning about NVC is like opening the door and finding beauty beyond the binaries of “good” or “bad”. NVC will open your mind to your own inner world and the world of others. The language of feelings, needs, and requests give us a language to understand others better – and make it easier to be understood by them.
What’s special about this course is that you can have a deep, interactive learning experience with a certified NVC trainer with your group and on your schedule, without the need for travel or big expenses.
Welcome to this self-paced, video-led NVC course for small groups!
