Free introduction to NVC - Connecting2Life - The Art of Dialogue Nonviolent Communication (NVC) Free introduction to NVC 2.5 hours taster Online, Friday 10 April, 19:00-21:30 (CEST) With Bonno Lange About the Introduction Content Practical information Registration We might all have one important thing in common: no matter what our role is—whether we are parents...

Someone asked us recently: "With everything happening in the world, do you still believe in NVC?"

War. Hunger. People screaming past each other online.

We sat with that question for a while.

Honestly? Sometimes we don't know.

We've sat in circles where Israelis and Palestinians cried together. Where enemy images dissolved into something more human. Where connection happened in places we didn't think it could.

And we've also watched the world continue to fall apart around those circles.

So here's what we actually believe:

NVC isn't naive.

It's the hardest thing we know.

Because it doesn't ask you to fix the world. It asks you to do one thing first: can you stay present long enough to hear what's underneath the other person's anger?

Not agree. Not surrender. Just hear.

That's it.

And from what we've seen, with our own bodies, in real rooms, with real conflict:

When someone feels heard, something shifts.

Not always. Not enough. Not fast enough given what's happening.

But something shifts.

We're not saying NVC solves wars. We're saying it's one direction we trust.

Because the alternative, more walls, more fear, more noise, we've seen where that goes too.

The world needs more people willing to stay in the room when it gets hard.

Not because it's easy.

Because it's the the best way we know to start.

What comes up in you when you think of NVC and the current state of events in the world?

March 21 is World Poetry Day. Today we will take a closer look at this poem by Jacob Holdt in the context of Nonviolent Communication.

So...what could be hidden in this poem?

From the perspective of NVC, the poem can be seen as an illustration of how people may try different strategies to get their needs met.

In this poem, we see a person longing for love. As the "healthier" strategies (getting respect or recognition) fail, the person does not stop needing love; they simply switch to more desperate, destructive strategies (being feared or hated) to ensure they are at least seen.

Connecting this poem to Nonviolent Communication is a powerful exercise because the poem perfectly illustrates one of NVC's central tenets:
All human behavior, no matter how tragic or violent, is an attempt to meet a fundamental human need.

What do you think the narrator is of this poem is revealing?
