Geneva Nonviolent Communication Practice Group

[In-person only ─ note: after 10 years of weekly sessions there, this will be the very last Sunday evening at Colife. Stay tuned for updates and alternatives from 2026 on!]

This practice session is facilitated by Jay Last and the theme is "Exploring our energy for 2026" related to chapter 4 "Identifying and expressing feelings" from Marshall Rosenberg's book "Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life". Participants are encouraged to read at least that chapter before the session, for best learning and practice benefits.

General introduction:
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.
