By: Roxy Manning, Kathleen MacFerran, Yuri Haasz, Anisha Pandya
Embodying Nonviolent Communication: A Journey of Liberation
A 9-month program for deep learning, courageous connection, and collective healing.
Offered by Authentic Communication Group
"This isn't just about how we speak. It's about how we live, how we lead, and how we stay human with one another—especially when it's hard."
Our Vision
We've created a globally accessible platform for embodied NVC learning, where growth is visible, feedback is kind, and practice is real.
The Journey Includes
Live Weekly Zoom Sessions
- Facilitator demos
- Awareness of power dynamics, inclusion, social justice and compassion
- Skill practice
- Harvesting the learning
Self-Paced Learning
- Weekly learning modules with videos, articles, podcasts, and reflections
- Peer pods for deepening your learning
- Community discussions about case studies
- AI-enhanced feedback tools to support NVC consciousness
- Weekly reflection prompts and journaling
- Assessment tools and a platform that tracks your growth
"I've been practicing NVC for years but certification kept feeling out of reach. This program gives me the structure, the feedback, and the community I didn't know I was missing."
Who This Is For
Designed for two groups: people who want to live NVC and people who want to become NVC trainers. With two tracks—one for new learners and one for experienced NVC teachers—we meet you where you are.
You might recognize these struggles:
- You've been practicing for years, but certification seems out of reach.
- You offer empathy to others but lose track of your own voice.
- You can teach the concepts—but facilitating groups still feels challenging.
- A painful interaction knocked the wind out of you, and your mojo hasn't fully returned.
- You long to bridge race, class, or culture—but fear making a mistake or causing harm.
What Makes Us Unique
You'll work with the NVC Whisperer, an AI companion trained to give empathic, observational feedback on real conversations. Upload a story, transcript, or video clip to receive detailed feedback on your facilitation, teaching, or mediation skills.
Our curriculum is aligned with certification requirements and integrates social change, authentic dialogue, and skills for navigating power and difference.
Why This, Why Now?
The world is aching for real connection. Burnout, polarization, fractured movements, and unresolved conflict keep us isolated and exhausted. This program is a response to that call—a space to build the skills and courage needed to meet this moment with clarity, connection, and compassion.
Communication isn't a soft skill. It's a liberation skill. A survival skill. A sacred practice.
