Fundamentals of NVC II
AUDIENCE: intermediate
Fundamentals II is a course for those who have had Fundamentals I class and is a continuation of the book "Nonviolent Communication, A Language of Life" by Marshall Rosenberg. We will recap some of the first 8 chapters in brief and then expand our learning through the end of the book. These remaining chapters include mediation and conflict resolution, gratitude, working with groups, and anger. This is a highly interactive class that focuses on real-life examples and creating a community of trust. There is a little growth work assigned weekly and the expectation that you will communicate about attending.
Please join us on this deepening journey with CNVC certified trainer, Karen Starz. Financial assistance is available upon request, please send requests to
This group will be meeting on Saturdays Oct 5th - Nov 23rd 5pm-7pm MT via Zoom for 8 sessions. The Zoom link will be emailed one week out from the start date.
The requested amount is $240 USD per participant for the 8-week series. You will also need to buy a copy of Marshall Rosenberg's Nonviolent Communication, A Language of Life.
What is it? This is a highly interactive, discussion-based exploration of Marshall Rosenberg’s book “Nonviolent Communication: a Language of Life, 3rd Ed.” (Puddle Dancer Press, 2015). Together, we will form an online learning community in which we can apply what we’ve read about with real people in real conversation. Reading, reflection, and review homework provide participants with the opportunity to make the most of the weekly online interactions, which will focus on practice and application. This is an excellent foundational workshop for the beginner or a sound refresher for returning practitioners.
Who is it for? This course is for people who have occasion to communicate with people and want to be able to do so more effectively, especially in the conversations which are most important to us. The people who will get the most out of the experience are those who read along in advance of each week’s session and come ready and willing to risk trying the things they read about in a real conversation with a real person.
What is unique about this course? Rosenberg’s compassionate communication framework is a powerful tool we can use to make authentic, heart-to-heart connections. Being heard, understood, and accepted is one of the most powerful gifts we can offer one another. It is also a gift that those around us desperately need. This group provides an opportunity to create peace in the world by creating peace within ourselves, as well as between ourselves and all with whom we speak.
The requested amount is $240 USD per participant for the 8-week series. You will also need to buy a copy of Marshall Rosenberg's Nonviolent Communication, A Language of Life.
