Basic Course
Nonviolent Communication
5 Sundays
Dive into Embodying NVC
We all have one very important thing in common, no matter what our role is. As parents, children, bosses, friends, healers and leaders – we all need to master communication!
Nonviolent Communication (NVC)
Nonviolent Communication (NVC) is a simple, powerful and extremely effective tool for improving our communication skills in all our relationships (including the relationship with ourselves).
It helps us see clearly what blocks our communication from being effective and it teaches us what we can do differently to communicate in a way that actually works for us: where we live the very values and intentions we try to manifest with the people and relationships we care about.
NVC is like taking my meditation cushion into real life. It is Meditation in action.
NVC is a profound inner revolution that transforms the very way we learn to think and act in the world.
NVC shows a path to connect through conflicts and misunderstandings and build the ground for natural flow of trust, cooperation and creativity.
It helps us heal wounds within ourselves and between us and others.
It moves us towards being the leaders we want to be and contributing in the way we desire in any given situation.
And more and more and more…
We all long for love and connection, yet we often find ourselves stuck in misunderstandings, conflict, or feeling unseen.
What if the way we’ve been taught to communicate is actually what’s blocking us to experience the connections we truly desire?
About the trainer
Hi, my name is Marije, I create spaces where our full humanness is welcome—where shame, fear, and strength are welcome, and where both pain and joy can be fully felt, expressed, and seen.
My work is about intimacy: with ourselves, with others, and with life itself.
Nonviolent Communication taught me how to embody the love that is in my heart—not just in moments of ease, but in the most challenging situations. Whether in conflict or facing my own inner struggles, NVC brings me back, again and again, to compassion
Since 2015, I have been guiding individuals, couples, and groups toward deeper authenticity, intimacy, and liberation.

Learning style
You will be invited to work on examples from your own life in an interactive and safe learning environment. We will practice Nonviolent Communication through demonstrations, role-play and exercises in order to integrate NVC values and language more into our daily lives.
The way we teach is: 30% Theory and 70% of Practice/Demonstration/Learning from LIVE situations that are happening in the here and now. Our focus is very much on the Embodied aspect of ‘Nonviolent Communication’, so be ready to dive.
Extra support
Assistants: We will have assistants accompanying us during this course. They’ve already completed the Basic, Intermediate, Advanced and Year Courses with us and some are engaged in their steps toward teaching/sharing NVC.
