The Journey Toward NVC Certification (JTNC)

This program is a fully online 18 month program offered through Institute of NVC Denmark (LIVKOM). The programs curriculum is broken down into three modules:

1) From learning and knowing the elements of NVC, to integrating and living NVC
2) From living NVC in all my thinking, speaking and acting in daily life, to sharing NVC with others
3) Sharing NVC with others while caring for own resources, and continue learning in a warm, supportive community.

It will cover a majority of what current CNVC certification candidates need to learn on their path toward certification. We will meet twice a month for 3 hours and the next cohort begins May 6th!

It includes a virtual international community of support – and opportunities for learning, practicing and sharing NVC throughout the program.

Intentions for the Program

  • This is for everyone who wants to learn, live and share NVC including those who would like support along the path towards certification with CNVC.
  • We will weave together the suggested learnings of the CPP with the needs of the participants in the program – to embody a partnership paradigm of learning.
  • We encourage participants to start sharing NVC while taking this program and the third semester will include mentorship and support in this area.

 

NVC Model: Parts and Components

Some of the knowing parts – will be covered in each semester – although much of it will be covered in the first semester. Some of this learning comes from lived experience – and can involve lifelong learning, but we will cover an introduction to, and deepening of, much of the suggested material from the CPP.

Expansion of an inner space/capacity to stay connected to myself and others in challenging situations. If you can stay connected to yourself in challenging situations then you are already on your way – the solution is inside. How do I find this energy in me? Moving from inner transformation to outer transformation.

All along these 18 months we will explore and work as a learning organization where feedback serves as learning opportunities. We will invite you for meetings with empathy buddies and for home-work between our meetings in the group.

 

This training will support you in getting ready for pre-assessment and to dive deeper into topics in the CPP that are of special interest to you. For example:

Social Change plan

How do you use NVC to create the social change you want to see in the world?
In this work there is a personal aspect to how you are in the world and a systemic aspect of what you experience as being available to you. NVC consciousness involves skills, awareness, learning and wisdom on both sides (both the personal and the systemic).

Spiritual aspect

How do you teach your view of NVC spirituality or NVC consciousness?
Do you see NVC as having a spiritual aspect? How do you speak about it? Do you get the idea that when you are deeply connected to energy of gratitude you are actually connecting to the Beloved Divine Energy. See the little booklet Practical Spirituality by Marshall Rosenberg.

Relationship to money

Do you live the concept of compassionate giving and receiving, which includes your relationship to the exchange of money?
Exploring your own understanding of how resources flow in our shared world. Getting inspiration for how to share resources, attract resources and give resources.

In this program you will

  • Learn a majority of the NVC parts and components/processes/distinctions as outlined in the CPP
  • Learn from a CNVC certified trainer who has decades of experience
  • Be in an active community with other NVC learners in a international group of support and practice partners, with plenty of opportunities for practicing what you are learning in a warm, supportive community.
  • The curriculum of the program will be guided by Kirsten Kristensen – a CNVC certified trainer with decades of experience – including 100 days of training with Marshall Rosenberg! You can find more information about Kirsten here: https://kommunikationforlivet.dk/om-mig/?lang=en

Money

What we would like to receive for the 3 modules of 6 months with meetings of 3 hours on Thursdays every second week:

Sliding scale 5-100 Euro / 37-745 DKK per person per meeting.
Please notice that we have updated the prices to be in Euro because the $ has become less since we started.

Example if you choose to contribute 30€ per meeting:

Pay for 2 months at a time: 4 meetings of 30€ = 120€ / 890 DKK
Pay for 6 months at a time: 12 meetings of 27,50€ = 330€ / 2.455 DKK
Pay for 12 months at a time: 24 meetings of 26,25€ = 630€ / 4.685 DKK
Pay for 18 months at a time: 36 meetings of 26,50€ = 960€ / 7.140 DKK

We like you to commit to at least one module = 6 months when you begin.

How to use the sliding scale

Our preference is to receive an average of 30€ per person per meeting for this course.

We want to acknowledge that we have very different living conditions from country to country and from person to person. So you might live for example in Iceland where the parity rate indicates that 30€ in Denmark equals 40€ in Iceland. Or you might live in Venezuela where the parity rate equals 9€.

We also want to acknowledge that we have very big differences from person to person. You might live in a so-called poor country and have access to abundant resources. Or you might live in a so-called rich country and struggle to pay your day to day expenses.
Please use the sliding scale with awareness of this.

If you give more than 30€, together we can support another person to participate for less.

Recommendations

“Kirsten is an absolute treasure in the NVC community. Her NVC workshops have been some of the best that I’ve taken. If you are looking for a structured way to learn and practice NVC (especially along a certification path) I can full-heartedly recommend this program!”

by Aiden Moore

“During the course with Kirsten, I gained many new insights that help me understand interpersonal relationships in a better way. Kirsten has the ability to explain complex things in a way that is both easy to understand and at the same time goes deep.
Her way of communicating creates a beautiful dance between empathy, honesty and connection.”

by Kristiina Krank

* SUGGESTED CURRICULUM – BASIC SEMESTER BREAKDOWN

1st semester/module/6 month = knowing and living (key differentiations) – Deepening an understanding of the suggested aims of the CPP – within a partnership paradigm. Starting the exploration around how to learn from both positive and negative feedback. How do you know that your actions are coming from beloved divine energy? – when you appreciate so called negative and positive feedback equally.

2nd semester/module/6 month = living and sharing. We will dive deeper into feelings and needs – including the ideas of transforming guilt and shame into freedom and joy – and to liberate yourself from cultural crap – transforming limiting beliefs (the inherited beliefs and programming from our childhood) into the discovery of the incredible power each and every one of us has to enrich life. We will dive deeper into certain topics based on the participants needs. What does it mean to you to live NVC – to deeply integrate it – to be marinated in the consciousness so that it oozes out of every pore and not just that the good head has understood it.

3rd semester/module/module = sharing and ongoing mentoring/supervision = if you havent started already, this is the time to start sharing NVC with others. This is for everyone who wants to learn, live and share NVC – including those who want to become certified trainers.
