#  Beauty of Needs

**Jürgen Licht, Robin Sikor** - Length: 1h:20m - English

**Topic Areas:** Conflict Resolution, General, Health & Healing, Intimate Relationships, Mind-Body-Spirit

**Session 2 of a 6-Part Online NVC Learning Series for Supporting Members - 27-Nov-2025.**

What happens when you stop treating needs as a problem to fix and start listening to them as signals of life?

In this session, you explore the heart of Nonviolent Communication by learning how feelings point to needs, and how needs are different from strategies, even when a “want” sounds like a need. Through clear examples and simple partner sharing, the distinction becomes practical, real, and usable in everyday moments of tension or shutdown.

A warm and supportive session for anyone who wants more self-responsibility, choice, and ease - and a gentle return from neediness to abundance, connection, and what is most human in all of us.
