"IIT Romania offered me many gifts, both personally and professionally. In short, I have reached a version of myself that lives in much deeper authentic connection, gratitude for people and life, and acceptance of life as it is."

"Attending this IIT has offered me an immersive learning experience. I now have a much better understanding of my own internal process of feelings and needs, as well as a deeper understanding of power dynamics in social justice and racial awareness perspectives."

"This IIT provided a next layer of anchoring and commitment to the tools of NVC. Overall since the IIT, I am more fluent with NVC concepts, have more real/live NVC connections, and know how to translate NVC tools into different contexts."

"These events restored my connection with myself and put me in contact with a community of like-minded people. Attending an IIT is a life-changing experience that I recommend for anyone who wants to live more peacefully with themselves and with others."

"It was an amazing opportunity to meet people and perspectives from around the globe and broaden my horizons. Through it all, I felt seen, held, and loved."

"A powerful insight for me was realizing that using NVC has to start with self-empathy, not the intent to save others. During this IIT, I felt the calling to pursue CNVC certification, which had seemed far away before."

"After this training, I firmly decided that I want to become a certified trainer. Whatever your plans are related to NVC, an IIT is a priceless place to be—surrounded by people who want to practice it, experiment with it, and receive honest feedback."

"I gained deeper self-awareness—understanding my triggers, emotions, and needs—empowering me to create a better life. This experience was incredibly enriching and continues to influence me with long-term impact."

"I not only learned invaluable skills in compassionate communication, empathy, and conflict resolution, but I also experienced the power of authentic connection. I walked away with a profound sense of empowerment and clarity, feeling equipped to bring these skills into my personal relationships and professional life."

"I came in touch with an old wound of grief and welcomed it to surface so I could heal it. I loved every bit of the IIT—learning, clarity, and connecting are some of my core values, and they were all truly met."

""It was very intense and powerful, and I fully recommend it to anyone interested in personal development and continued learning. This experience gave me valuable insights that will stay with me for life."

"IIT Denmark was valuable for learning, growth, and connection with participants from many cultures and continents. I am now practicing and sharing NVC in Nepal, focusing on education and social change."

"The international setting broadened my perspective and deepened my understanding of how NVC can be applied globally. I recommend such an experience to anyone looking to deepen their communication skills and promote peace—both internally and externally."

"During the IIT I chose to be brave enough to speak my mind, even when it was challenging—and I did. This gave me courage and healing, while also opening new doors in my professional NVC practice."

"The degree of support, the willingness to help, and the feeling of community were very precious to me. I probably never cried so much in my life, but I also laughed, danced, and played."
