NVC Level 1 Foundation Training Recommended Preparation
Attending an NVC Foundation Training will help you to develop clarity concerning the essential concepts and tools used in NVC. You will also develop a basic level of fluency, which will help you to use Nonviolent Communication effectively in your daily life – professional or personal. NVC foundation trainings are also a pre-requisite for many of the further Nonviolent Communication skills workshops available in both the UK and worldwide. We expect you will find attending one challenging, moving, supportive and fun!
“As a beginner in NVC, taking Daren’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
“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
“Thanks very much for the course, I think this has been the most powerful learning I have ever had!” – C. French

Comments from previous Nonviolent Communication Foundation Training course participants:
This online NVC course is perfect. I highly recommend Daren’s course, he perfectly balances NVC theory and practice and is flexible and attentive to the group’s needs. Our group was smaller than you might find in an “in person” setting which added to the intimacy and trust of the experience. I value this experience very highly, the lessons learned are lasting and a great introduction to the practice of NVC.
I’m amazed by how much has become clearer to me during this weekend. Such simple revelations but very necessary ones!
NVC is a key player in a much-needed global shift in consciousness – from seeing other people as good and bad to seeing other people as simply trying to meet their needs. Experiencing guided practice on a course such as this is crucial to developing the skill – theory alone will not suffice.
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!
Daren is a fantastic trainer. I learned a lot of helpful information and loved the practice sessions. Every relationship I have has improved 10 fold as a result and I am a much happier person.
Thank you for a great workshop at the weekend! I am using this ‘new language’ and ‘new tool’ whenever I can throughout my day, and not just when someone is angry, but to try and really listen to people, hear their feelings and needs, and make a connection. My relationship with my husband has much improved, we are so much more connected, and it’s still work in progress, it’s great! I am so happy.
I keep getting a sense of something finely crafted – refined – precise – carefully positioned – no waste – everything with a clear purpose – a beautiful whole – a masterpiece even – dense and full and rich, and yet easy and fluid and flowing.
This was a really enriching training programme. I was made to feel very comfortable and safe by the facilitators and the great group of co-trainees. Thank you – very inspiring!
A wonderful course and a wonderful concept. I look forward to applying it.
I really got a lot out of the training, both in terms of learning about the principles of NVC, and practical experience to go forward and get started using NVC in my daily life. Daren did a wonderful job of creating a welcoming atmosphere in an online group session, and I really appreciated the warmth and skill they brought to the facilitation.
