A language that helps make humanity visible

Nonviolent Communication is a practical and deeply human way of communicating. It helps you clarify what's alive in you, listen with attention to others, and create connection that contributes to mutual understanding and cooperation.

NVC is not about "being nice", but about truly being present: honest, without judgement, and with respect for everyone's needs. It offers a structure that brings calm to conversations that can be tense or confusing, and creates space for choices that work for everyone involved.

At the heart of this approach lies one principle: we gladly contribute to each other's well-being when we can do so freely and willingly.

NVC supports you to:

  • find words that connect rather than blame
  • translate judgements into feelings and needs
  • stay clear, even when emotions run high
  • find solutions together that work for everyone
  • stay present with yourself and with others

At work, at home or within yourself: NVC is an invitation to communicate from humanity and freedom of choice.

About the trainer

Bart Landstra

I’m pretty good at judging. At getting my own way. At swallowing things and then walking around for days with a knot in my stomach.

But I’ve learned to listen to what lies beneath. What am I actually feeling? What do I long for? The more I understand myself, the more I understand you.

Those questions keep changing my relationships, my life. Again and again.

Bart Landstra, Nonviolent Communication trainer
