Nonviolent Communication

Staying in contact, even when it gets tense

Nonviolent Communication (NVC) helps you be completely honest, in a compassionate way.

For organisations

I give Nonviolent Communication trainings to teams: in companies, schools, communities and institutions.

You can choose a three-hour workshop, a team day or a programme of four sessions, in English or Dutch.

How I work

Experientially. We practise with situations from your own life or work, so you discover how NVC works day to day. I create a safe setting in which everything is welcome.

NVC isn't a trick. It's a way of looking beyond behaviour, with compassion and curiosity, to the feelings and longings underneath. That brings clarity and connection, even when things chafe.

My background

I've been training in Nonviolent Communication since 2018, including year courses with Yoram Mosenzon (Connecting2Life) in teaching NVC and in mediation. I assisted in his trainings for years, and have taught at places such as the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences and the University of Innsbruck.

“Inge made the concepts and ideas of Nonviolent Communication clear and concrete. Each time, she applied them to situations the participants had recently experienced. It was a nice combination of concrete and tangible, with good conceptual explanation too.

The evening was also really nice! A lovely group.”

“Your guidance was incredibly valuable. You gave me the support to stay close to myself, which I find very hard, especially with my partner. I felt seen as I voiced my wish. I'm grateful for how you were able to hear it, and how we got clear on what my wish was.”
