NVC Level 1 Foundation Training Recommended Preparation
The aim of these introductory Nonviolent Communication Level 1 Foundation Trainings is to give participants a thorough introduction to the theory and practice of Nonviolent Communication (NVC). This will enable you to use NVC in your daily interactions with people, whether at home in your family or at work, or socially. The training group is small (maximum of 12-14 participants) which allows time for everyone to ask questions, contribute to discussions and practice and receive individual coaching input from Daren. The training groups are invariably friendly and empathic and many participants make connections with others that support them with their ongoing living and practicing of NVC.
“The NVC foundation training course was the perfect opportunity for me to practice and embed the theory of NVC that I had learned from Marshall’s book. The mixture of theory with exercises and role plays, the moments provided for meditation and self-connection as well as the time taken by Daren to thoroughly answer any questions and concerns, made the course a deep and meaningful learning experience. The strong connections made between course members has enabled us to continue working together post-training to deepen our NVC practice.” – J Yeung
“This is the training I have done that has touched me the most. I truly believe I’ll carry these lessons for life!” – Livia B
“Daren is a very experienced and patient teacher, well versed in the theory. You will be in safe hands when you study with him.” – Wendy H

Comments from previous Nonviolent Communication Level 1 Foundation Training participants
“I want to say how much I appreciate the sense of hope, empowerment, and grounding that your workshop brought to me. It helped me reconnect with what truly matters and reminded me why I want to keep learning this way of being. I’m looking forward to the next steps in continuing this beautiful journey.” – Kara Nguyen, Dec 2025
“NVC is both fascinating and fundamental to nurturing positive relationships and avoiding or resolving conflict. Daren is a deeply experienced, compassionate and skilled teacher and I would highly recommend his courses.” – Katie S, Dec 2023
“I was impressed by the kind and safe way the training was setup. It made it easy for people to drop into most vulnerable places for themselves, and share authentically different relevant stories of inner and relational conflict.” – Lili, July 2022
“As a beginner in NVC, taking Darren’s foundation course was so helpful. He really clarified the techniques for me through a combination of clearly explained theory, illustrated with examples from his own life, and role-playing and practice sessions to help build these new muscles. His online classes ran like clockwork and were packed with learning without being overwhelming.” – Suzanne K, Feb 2021
“I appreciated Daren’s anecdotes of putting this into practice, his realism, his honesty, his careful pairing and overwhelmingly positive responses, plenty of opportunity to practice, humour and a safe space to explore and be vulnerable.” – R Woolhouse, May 2019
“The NVC foundation training I did with Daren has been one of the most valuable workshops I’ve ever attended! I’ve become more empathic and more in tune with my needs/feelings. I still have a long way to go, but I see progress and it’s motivating.” – D Denisjonok, Oct 2018
“Amazing two days experience, with a lot of practice and in-depth material. Highly recommended!” – M Coman, April 2018
“Daren’s NVC foundation course was perfectly delivered with pure heart, grace, intelligence, wisdom and humour!” – S Daly, May 2017
“Daren provided the best demonstration I have seen and was highly instructional.” – A Peacock, April 2017
“Daren’s training was well structured and really advanced my understanding of NVC theory and fluency for practice. Highly recommended to get you started in NVC!” – A Clare, Dec 2016
“Daren is a very experienced trainer. From day one I started putting the skills into practice. Life changing course!” – S Rehan, Jan 2016
“Perhaps the best spent 12 hours of my life.” – L Phillips, Nov 2015
“Daren was clear, compassionate & knowledgeable. His passion for NVC really came across. I felt he really cared for us.” – R Lalor, March 2013
“This was amazing!! Thank you so much for the inspiration and the hope!! This is a beginning of something wonderful I think!” – A Heimersson, Sept 2012
“I want to express my gratitude again for a very special weekend . . . as powerful and as rich in ancient truth and wisdom as the principles of NVC are (and I believe Marshall to be one of the great teachers of the last century along with the likes of Gandhi, Luther King and Mandela), what we received was as much the part that you played in teaching us. I was profoundly touched by your willingness to share your own struggles and successes with us. Also, your presentation and facilitation skills were clear, connecting and seamless. I also get how important this work is to you personally and that was impacting too.” – J. Kingston, Oct 2011
“Probably the best training (the most useful) I’ve attended in the past 10 years.” – S Warwick, May 2011
