Beginners Foundation Training: Authentic and Sensitive Expression Zoom course

NVC Authentic & Sensitive Expression

Express heartfelt needs clearly and authentically, strengthen connection

Ever said something you didn’t quite mean, just to be heard — or stayed silent to avoid a fight? Learning to express deeply heartfelt and important thoughts in a way that is actually heard and responded to is an art. Unclear or emotionally charged requests can leave you feeling unheard and isolated; this course teaches a different way.

NVC is a practical, learnable approach to infusing empathy, honesty, strength, and compassion into personal and professional relationships. This four-week Zoom course centres on Authentic & Sensitive Expression — sharing what matters most while maintaining connection and respect.

Dehumanization and Bliss

“We only feel dehumanized when we get trapped in the derogatory images of other people or thoughts of wrongness about ourselves. As author and mythologist Joseph Campbell suggested, “‘What will they think of me?’ must be put aside for bliss.” We begin to feel this bliss when messages previously experienced as critical or blaming begin to be seen for the gifts they are: opportunities to give to people who are in pain.”

— Marshall B. Rosenberg

What Participants Are Saying

“Learning about NVC with Simon is a delight! His warm, playful energy and teaching through doing builds connection and confidence. This is not another training by PowerPoint online after a long day at work. It is meaningful, engaging and practical. He breaks down the key concepts of NVC and helps us nurture and love our jackal. I feel more in touch with what needs are and how to articulate them to others. I’m excited to continue my NVC journey and continue to build my communication skills.”

— Lizzie Guinness, NVC Foundation Skills course participant
