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.

• using the Zoom Meeting ID 922 005 2018 and passcode NVC
---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

Dynamics of Deep Connection
Shanti Club, Rue des Grottes 28, 1201 Genève, Switzerland, Genève, GE, CHA 2 day Nonviolent Communication Workshop
A foundation of our happiness is deep connection. This experiential NVC workshop cultivates self-awareness so we can show ourselves authentically and create safety for others to do the same.
The quality of our relationships is at the heart of how we thrive in life. When we share a beautiful intimacy and love, our personal or family life is nourishing for everyone. At work, when there is flow with our colleagues and a sense of being together with a purpose, everyone is more productive and creative.
So what are the essential elements that enhance deep human connection?- Presence
- Empathy
- Authenticity
- Vulnerability
- Boundaries
- Mutuality
- Gratitude
With practical exercises, role plays, and deep centering, we will develop awareness and capacity to bring these qualities to life within ourselves and in all our important connections. This workshop is for those who want to live their deeper purpose in how they relate, every day.
