About us
The vision of NVC Geneva (Nonviolent Communication Geneva) is to support connection, harmony and alternatives to violence at the personal, community and global level.
In various ways, we unite and inspire each other to effectively support access to NVC to the international community in and around Geneva.
We will study and apply together Nonviolent Communication (NVC) in English.
This is a revolutionary way of relating authentically with yourself and others through building consciousness around: Empathy and Self-Empathy, Compassion, Emotional Freedom, Self-Expression among others essential elements!
The goal is to grow our capacity to communicate and exist in Truth from the Heart.

[IN-PERSON & ONLINE] NVC Geneva Book Club
chez David Laou, rue Daubin 14, Genève, al, CHNVC Book Club was founded in 2021 with the aim of reading Marshall Rosenberg's book "Nonviolent Communication – A language of Life" together. We continue to integrate our own needs with the content of the book.

---General introduction:
Creating a group dedicated to the book gives us an opportunity to make space for discussions whilst reading together. It aims to support a deeper learning and understanding of the NVC language, which we believe will enrich the learning process in life and indeed in situations which we would like to compassionately communicate with others.
Through previous sessions, we learnt that it was important to meet the current needs of participants. As we continue to evolve the group and journey through the book together, we would like to invite participants to share anything that resonates when reading passages in the book. Understandably we may therefore share more than we read in some sessions. This can also serve as to guide and prepare us for online and/or live sessions with a co-facilitator.
Afternoon sessions are fortnightly on a Monday afternoon at 15:15
Evening sessions are fortnightly on a Tuesday evening at 20:00On Mondays, the schedules are according to our collective inspirations, starting with:
• 15:15 space is open, particularly for newcomers or anyone wishing to share ahead of the check-in
• 15:30 check-in
• 15:40 following the flow of the reading
• 16:15 consolidation of current discussion/place in the chapter,conclusion of topic with space for its continuation at the following session; proceed to check-out
• 16:30 proposed finishing timeIf you want to attend these book club sessions but are unable to attend either the afternoon or the evening sessions listed, please contact us at: bookclub@NVCGeneva.ch or Georgia Knower on Meetup.

#WorldAnimalDay Compassionate social event: drinks/snacks
Espace de quartier Jonction, Rue Michel-Simon, 1205 Genève, Switzerland, Genève, GE, CH[Partnering with the #WorldAnimalDay]
After the practice session (starting at 18:00, see the separate event for the “Empa-theater”), or directly on-site for this gathering, let’s get together for some informal socializing—to grab a bite to eat and/or a drink, share our experiences of life, connection, and communication, or simply enjoy each other’s company.
This will be a potluck-style meal (“Canadian buffet”). For this occasion, we ask that all food be vegan (plant-based, no animal products or products derived from animal exploitation, including dairy, honey, eggs).
This event is separate from the NVC practice sessions scheduled. Those who wish to also attend the practice session, still need to register separately on the ad hoc event.2 attendees
