Why join this program?

  • Since 2022, the Year-long Program on the 25 NVC Key Differentiations has helped hundreds of participants deepen their understanding of Nonviolent Communication and integrate it more fully into their daily lives.
  • Go beyond theory. Develop a living NVC practice that meaningfully transforms your relationships, work, and everyday interactions.
  • Learn through a unique lens. Sandra and Yuri’s work stands out for its integration of relational practice and a systemic perspective, articulating the intrapersonal, interpersonal, and structural dimensions of NVC while recognizing that our conflicts and challenges are not merely individual but are also shaped by systems such as racism, patriarchy, colonialism, and other forms of domination.
  • Prepare for certification. The 25 Key Differentiations are a core part of CNVC certification pathway and support a deeper embodiment of NVC consciousness.
  • Learn in community. Throughout the program, you will be invited to participate in Empathy Buddy conversations and Home Group practice sessions. These optional peer-learning experiences provide additional opportunities to deepen your understanding, strengthen your practice, and integrate the learning in a supportive community.

Nonviolent Communication (NVC)

Systematized by US psychologist Marshall Rosenberg, Nonviolent Communication (NVC) offers a profound shift in how we understand and relate to one another. Rather than relying on patterns of domination, coercion, or blame, NVC invites us to build relationships grounded in collaboration, mutual care, and shared humanity.

At its core, NVC cultivates both honest self-expression and empathic listening, helping us understand others more deeply while also feeling more fully understood ourselves. It provides practical tools for navigating conflict, challenging prejudice, and moving beyond separation by recognizing our shared human needs while honoring the richness of our differences.

Because language shapes the way we perceive ourselves, one another, and the world we create together, NVC is more than a communication model—it is a practice of individual and collective transformation. By fostering connection, accountability, and compassion, it offers a powerful pathway for transforming conflict, strengthening communities, and contributing to meaningful social change.

More on the Key Differentiations:

  • While the four components of Nonviolent Communication (Observations, Feelings, Needs, and Requests) provide a practical framework, they are only the beginning. A deep understanding of the 25 Key Differentiations supports the integration of the NVC paradigm into both our consciousness and our daily practice, enabling us to embody NVC more fully in the way we think, relate, and live.
  • As we integrate these differentiations into our way of being, they begin to transform how we perceive ourselves, others, and the world around us. This deeper understanding opens new possibilities for living and applying Nonviolent Communication with greater authenticity, awareness, and effectiveness in everyday life.
