Welcome to NVC Barcelona
Whether you want to strengthen your personal relationships, improve your workplace collaboration, or simply cultivate a more compassionate relationship with yourself and others, NVC (nonviolant communication) offers clear and practical tools to help you speak and listen from the heart.
So what about anger, guilt and shame? Why are these feelings so hard to deal with?
And why do people respond so differently to them? Well.. That is because there is something special going on there.
Unlike feelings like sadness, excitement or loneliness, that appear whether our longings or needs are met or unmet. Anger, guilt and shame seem to find their roots in our judgements, in our thinking.
The Hidden Messengers
When we judge others, we feel anger. When we judge ourselves, we experience guilt or shame.
In Nonviolent Communication, we learn that these painful emotions are not enemies to be suppressed. They are actually a "tragic expression" of our deep, unmet human needs.
What will you learn
This interactive workshop will teach you how to decode these thoughts, allow the feelings and find the hidden needs. You will transform heavy judgments into clarity, connection, and self-compassion.
INCLUDING FREE PRACTICE GROUP
In this workshop we will dive into Nonviolant Communication (NVC). NVC is also known as the language of the heart. You will discover:
✨ How to be radically honest without judgement or blame
✨ How to listen with empathy beyond anger and frustrations
✨ How to enjoy deeper connections with people around you
In this workshop we will focus on how to be more honest with ourselves and others in a way that leads to deeper connection and understanding, instead of the judgemental honesty that we normally use.
You will learn to apply the fundaments of NVC, observations, feelings, needs and requests in an interactive way, using real examples from your own life.

About me:
I'm originally from the Netherlands where I’ve been offering NVC training since 2015.
I completed my certification in 2018. Of all the tools and methods I’ve encountered in my journey as a human, social worker, and coach NVC has stood out to me for its clarity, depth, and its unique combination of simplicity and power. I moved to Barcelona in 2024 so I'm excited to continue offering courses and retreats here.
Empathy, the art of listening
When someone lashes out, shuts down, or criticizes, we usually get stuck reacting to what they are doing of saing. In this workshop we learn how to pause, look past the surface defense mechanisms, and clearly understand the why underneath the behavior and find universal human needs driving us.
You will discover:
✨ How to listen deeply without trying to "fix" or judge.
✨ How to understand the ‘why’ behind the 'what’ beyond anger and frustrations
✨ How to enjoy deeper connections with people around you
Nonviolent Communication (NVC) is also known as the language of the heart, heartfulness, and compassionate communication. It is a practice specifically designed to bring deeper connections between people.

When I first heard about Nonviolent Communication, I thought this would not be for me…
I'm so happy I stayed curious enough to find out NVC is not for people with temper problems, it is much more about knowing and understanding myself and others in a deeper way. And althoug life will always be challenging, I'm so grateful for the countless positive effects NVC has had on me.
I'm originally from the Netherlands where I’ve been offering NVC training since 2015. For 14 years I worked in the healthcare field and I’ve organized my own NVC courses and retreats. I specialized in using NVC in assertive outreach with people facing addiction. Later I worked as a team coach and NVC trainer for social workers. I offered individual- and team coaching and facilitated moral dialogue as chair of an ethics committee.
I completed my CNVC certification in 2018, my assessor Gina Lawrie guided me through the process. Of all the tools and methods I’ve encountered in my journey as a human, social worker, and coach NVC has stood out to me for its clarity, depth, and its unique combination of simplicity and power. So I'm excited to continue offering courses and retreats here in Barcelona.
