MP3 Audio Download: 118 Minutes(1 hours & 58 minutes)

Fee: $10.00 USD

The wisdom which Nonviolent Communication is based on is as old as humanity itself. This telecourse draws insights from NVC’s elder siblings of Taoism, Buddhism, and indigenous culture to offer new ways of approaching common NVC ‘stuck’ places, including topics such as:

  • Why intention is the fundamental principle of NVC, and how to cultivate its power
  • The other NVC: non-verbal communication
  • How to end the illusion of ‘my needs’ and ‘your needs’
  • How to walk in the dark, when NVC forms aren’t creating connection

Catherine and Jesse bring a beautiful blend of NVC and Zen practice to their work and life. Together they bring an experiential style of integrated practices to support learning NVC in a way that is lively, engaging and deeply enriching.
