Nonviolent communication (also knowns as NVC, or compassionate communication) is a framework for understanding and communicating in an a way that supports deeper connection. It was was created by Marshal Rosenburg. It emphasizes understanding and in some cases sharing about the emotional experience in relation to what happened between us.
Sociocracy and NVC implicitly share some basic assumptions and values: non-coercion, self-organisation, learning and effectiveness as a measure, and a holistic and system view. In addition, NVC complements sociocracy supporting effectiveness. Meanwhile, Sociocracy can codify and turn into systems practices that NVC can address.

Looking for an affordable way to train your organization in person? Combine your training with an open workshop and mitigate costs that way! Let’s talk!
Groups of 4-7 people can get training with our pre-recorded video-led classes. The classes are very interactive and practice-oriented. You can run more than one cohort at the same time.
Are you tired of online training? We’d love to spend in-person time with you and your group!
Learning in person is much more pleasant than on Zoom, and doing a one- or two-day workshop is the perfect immersive experience.
But how do you pay for it? Here’s an option to consider that not only helps you but also helps strengthen the sociocracy movement in your area:
Organize an open in-person workshop in your town or city. You find a venue and provide outreach. We can find you a trainer and contact people on our mailing list in our area.
With an open workshop and ticket sales, there will b extra income to cover travel costs and supplement trainer cost. We often also allow extra people from your group at a discount or for free. So that can be a really smart way to get free training for your group!
