The NVC Beginner’s Pathway

Learning Nonviolent Communication (NVC) can be an incredibly rewarding experience with the potential to fundamentally transform your understanding of yourself and others, and your relationships.

But if you are new to the concept of NVC, learning and integrating the principles can be a bit overwhelming at first, especially if you don’t know where to start.

That’s why we created The NVC Beginner’s Pathway— an ongoing series of monthly emails, basic resources, and live courses designed to guide you forward every step of the way.

You may consider yourself a beginner if you:

• Are new to the four steps of the NVC process developed by Marshall B. Rosenberg, PhD - Observations, Feelings, Needs, and Requests 
• Have limited understanding of the two primary components of NVC: Empathy and Honest Expression
• Understand NVC in theory, but don’t yet know how to put it into practice in daily life

While the offerings on our Beginner’s Pathway are designed for newcomers, seasoned NVC enthusiasts are very welcome to take advantage. It’s a great opportunity to get a refresher on some of the building blocks of Nonviolent Communication to reinvigorate and deepen your practice!

Here at the NVC Academy, we run unique live courses throughout the year designed for those who are starting to learn NVC, or those who would like more support in bringing the practice into their life situations. These courses all teach NVC fundamentals, with each one geared toward a different way of applying the basic concepts in your life.
