Community Calls

Monthly Community Calls
for Ongoing NVC Learning
Connection & Community

Have you learned the basics of Nonviolent Communication?
Want a fun group with skilled facilitation to
learn and practice with?

Marshall Rosenberg, founder of NVC, once said that to “get good at giraffe” (the compassionate. Nonviolent Communication consciousness), we need three things - daily consciousness about our values, practice-practice-practice and “giraffe” community. These monthly Community Calls aim to support you in connecting with like-hearted, NVC community for ongoing learning on how to bring NVC more alive in your everyday life.

Community Calls will resume in Spring 2024!
Add your name to the list to be the first to know when calls resume.

These monthly calls, May through August, are facilitated by Jenna Card, CNVC Certified Trainer, and are a component of the Applied NVC program. In each 2-hour call we explore an essential NVC topic with opportunities for experiential learning, connection, and discussion. You are welcome to register for one or all the remaining calls. Call Recordings are provided to call registrants.

The May 6th call topic was Intention vs Impact. Call topics are shared the week before the call. If you have topics you’d like to explore, reach out to Jenna at jenna@heartspring.ca.

Who is this program for?

This program is ideal for those who have competed a minimum of 10 hours of live Nonviolent Communication training and who have gained an understanding of the needs-based consciousness, the 4-part model, and 3 components of NVC. If you are new to NVC or need a refresher of the basics, we strongly recommend checking out the Fundamentals of Compassionate Communication course as preparation for the Applied NVC program. If you’re unsure which program is best for you, feel free to contact Jenna.

Testimonials

I had been longing for a way to learn how to apply NVC in real life and Jenna facilitated with grace & wisdom, a quantum leap in my capacity to use this deep and profound method. I can’t wait to practice and apply hereafter. I am so grateful that Jenna is doing this work. - AH, Canada

Jenna is a gifted facilitator and teacher - a wise woman who walks the talk of vulnerability, risk-taking and integrity. After attending a group she facilitated about empathy, I immediately used what I learned to unhook my partner and I from a long-standing entrenched conflict. It was a sweet, simple, miraculous shift. - SA, Canada

Jenna holds a beautiful, open space for exploration, sharing and learning. She inhabits the NVC principles with an honest, refreshing grace that inspires my own practice. - MS, USA

NVC in a group with Jenna at the helm is a wonderful learning experience. The depth and breadth of her practice is evident. Her facilitation style is in complete alignment with the concepts she teaches. The open and evolving format of the meetings lends itself to a tailored and affirming experience. This class helped me naturalize my compassionate communication and opened my eyes to some blind spots and new ideas. - TL, USA

I really love this class and your way of teaching. I am very grateful for you to create this space for us all to connect with you this way. It provides a priceless mental and emotional support in these unprecedented times. Thank You, Jenna! - CH, Germany

I really appreciated the great balance of heart, vulnerability and human connection in this course. It was very balanced with practical skills and a strong structure that Jenna provided. I highly recommend it! - KJ., Canada

Jenna Card
CNVC Certified Trainer

I first discovered Nonviolent Communication in 2007 and in the ensuing years (and with diligent practice ;), NVC has quite literally transformed my relationships and, quite frankly, my life.

All of my relationships, from family, friends, romantic to work, community, and most importantly, with my self, have been transformed from guarded, reactive, sometimes fearful or challenging, to relationships of more authenticity, harmony, and honesty. NVC has been instrumental in building my capacity for repairing breaks in connection (essential given that conflict is a natural part of human relating!) and expanding joy and love!
