What makes this course special

  • Simplicity
    I wrote a children's book on Nonviolent Communication to make this concept accessible to a wide audience. For me it is really important to distill information in its Essence to invite everyone to follow along on this journey.

  • Easy to digest learning experience
    All videos have a length of 3 minutes average, which makes the learning experience very easeful. Also, the journey includes many practices and time for reflection to deepen the understanding.

  • Embedded in a larger ecosystem
    I see NVC not as a stand-alone technique or approach. For me it is a piece of a larger puzzle that supports people in living their Essence. Therefore, taking this course can contribute to a more holistic understanding of yourself through further offerings of Essence.

Why I created this course

Understanding ourselves open doors to peace and connection

When I got to know NVC on a deeper level, I understood that it would shape my view of the world forever. It made me realize why I felt, how I felt. It showed me the reason behind a lot of people's behavior and actions. It gave me compassion and self-acceptance. It gave me freedom and a sense of more agency.

I would love for you to feel this freedom, understanding and deeper connection to yourself and others. And I want that this learning experience is as easeful and fun as possible. There are so many courses that make NVC seem complex, theoretical and abstract. With this course, I want to give you the experience of a simple and joyful approach.

This course is for you, if you want to

Deepen the relationships with yourself and the people around you

Develop your conflict competence

Enjoy a great learning experience, simple and profound

Choose your own learning pace

Understand your own feelings better
