- Christine (Germany)
Meet Your Trainers
The Masterclasses are woven into the 5 core units. These carefully curated master workshops are taught by a diverse and exciting team of trainers worldwide. Additionally, practice, integration, and Q&A hosted by our facilitators from the Rising team, who will be there with you in every unit.
01 Reviewing the foundations
Jürgen Engel: "The Living Energy of Need"
The profound depth and spiritual essence of NVC, along with the practice of Living Compassion as taught by Robert Gonzales: In this session, we will explore the energetic and spiritual depth of the concept of "needs" within Nonviolent Communication, delving into the actual, individual inner experiences we have when connecting with certain needs. Instead of focusing on whether needs are "met" or "unmet" and considering one more desirable than the other, we will explore a space beyond this binary, where we connect with the frequency or energy of the life force we call "needs."
Yoram Mosenzon: "The Power of Emapthy"
My focus lies on the Embodiment part of NVC- on Radical Honesty/Radical Empathy. My whole being is focused on my relation to people, while my teaching navigates in the subtle delicacy of figuring out ‘what (the fuck) is going on between and within people’ moment by moment by moment.
02 Compassionate self
Karen Starz: "Love Your Parts, They Love You"
In this highly interactive workshop we will acknowledge the angry parts of us. Before transforming them to anything different, we will spend time hearing them, dancing with them and trusting that they have something important to say. There will be multiple breakouts in which you will practice with a partner. A fundamental knowledge of feelings/ needs vocabulary and NVC is helpful to experience the fullness of role-playing. If you are curious about what your anger has to say or why it seems to have a life of its own when you are trying so hard to be peaceful, this is the workshop for you. Or, if you are wanting to see change in the world and can't express yourself without being angry, this is also the workshop for you. If you are longing to be heard or to become comfortable with all of you, this is the workshop for you. The takeaways are: greater self-connection awareness of how your different parts communicate and which one is loudest in you what you value the most in life greater comfortability with anger"
Liv Larsson: "Unmasking shame"
Shame is a door to vulnerability and compassion. Befriending shame is an investment. Not having to avoid shame means that you can say "yes" to your dreams, even if you are not perfect. Being friends with shame means you can let people closer to you, you will not die even if they see your flaws. This session is a taste of how to work with The Compass of Needs to become more friendly to yourself." Liv is the author of more than 20 books. She has been a Certified trainer for Center for Nonviolent Communication since 2002 and an educator since 1992. Liv is also a mediator mainly working with conflicts between the indigenous group in Scandinavia, the Same, and forest and mining industries. Also holds a masters degree in Literature and Creative writing

03 Kowing where I come from
Sarah Peyton: "Your Resonant Self"
She teaches and lectures internationally, and is the author of the book “Your Resonant Self: Guided Meditations and Exercises to Engage Your Brain’s Capacity for Healing." She is currently at work on a second book, commissioned by W.W.Norton, on the relational neuroscience of the unconscious contracts that she will be offering in this session.
Nadine Helm: "Preparing for authentic Dialogue"
Through working with challenges we experience in our family of origin, we will practice a process that can help us prepare ourselves before entering a challenging dialogue. It supports our own self-connection and clarity, allowing us to approach the dialogue from a need-connected place. It also helps us open our hearts to the other person and see their humanness. Before actually stepping into a dialogue, it lets us connect with our intention for mutual connection—which is a core principle of the consciousness of NVC. The process can also reveal when deeper healing is necessary before engaging in dialogue. It is a preparatory process aimed at increasing your need-connectedness regarding the triggering situation, preparing you for a potential dialogue, and offering clarity on how to best care for your needs

Marie R. Miyashiro, Catherine Cooley and Ranjitha Jeurkar: "NVC in the workplace: The mindset shifts it takes to create impact."
"Organizations are the single largest source of influence on the political, economic, and social conditions of our world. What could be possible if we brought NVC consciousness into more organizations, one team at a time? When we ‘teach’ NVC through classic OFNR (Observation, Feeling, Need, Request) methods, possibilities can be limited. However, applying NVC in organizations through experiential learning, with a focus on the “We” interactions within the organization, opens up new possibilities. In this session, you’ll begin to understand"
