Immersion in Nonviolent Communication 2024-2025

Jan 19 – Apr 27

NVC for All – A Nonviolent Communication Foundations Course

Over eight sessions, we’ll cover the fundamental concepts of Nonviolent Communication. While we explore the four steps of the basic NVC model, we will include strategies to integrate awareness of power, privilege and social inequities designed to decrease the likelihood that the model will perpetuate existing social inequities. We will look at ways to use Nonviolent Communication to lift up and discuss inequities when they exist, rather than contribute to silencing and erasure.

NVC for All – Learn to Share NVC While Attending to Power Differences 2025

Join this “Train the Trainer” series. You will meet with Roxy every other Sunday for 8 sessions to experience a foundational NVC curriculum originally developed by Roxy for and with the Freedom Project. Unpack the theory driving the curriculum to build your awareness of specific issues encountered in communities with less access to power.

Roxy’s Approach

How do we cultivate real vitality in ourselves, our relationships, our jobs, and our work? What does it take for our organizations and communities to be simultaneously successful, innovative, and equitable? How do we sustain hope that this is possible?

In my work, organizations and individuals receive support for transforming ineffective, maladaptive, and dehumanizing patterns, cultures, and systems to achieve their goals guided by their deepest values. Leveraging innate human capacities for empathy, creativity, healing, and problem solving, my work brings functionality and robustness on levels from the internal to the systemic.

I offer guidance in creating positive change empowered by empathic connection to what matters most which allows for transformations sourced from acceptance, compassion, and celebration rather than shame, guilt, or punishment.
