6 Month Intensive NVC Programme in Cluj
7-9 February 2020, 10-12 April 2020, 19-21 June 2020

This intensive, life changing programme provides you an immersion in NVC at the same time developing measurable improvements in the relationships that matter most to you. We offer a unique approach to learning combining training, live application of the learning and continuous support throughout the programme and beyond.
I can honestly say that learning and practicing NVC has been a game changer for me, especially when I do it in a secured, warm and trustworthy environment as the Extraordinary Relationship course has proved to be. Participant
Through the programme you will gain significant insights into a selection of important relationships in your life. Maybe these will be your children, life partner, family, friends, work colleagues, neighbours – the choice will be entirely yours. Throughout the 6 months you will set yourself goals and notice clear progress in transforming your relationships according to your values.
You will learn about:
- Yourself – your triggers; your emotional signals and what they mean; how to change your reactions; asking for what you need; staying connected to yourself even in difficult moments.
- People who matter most to you – what their needs are; what they really mean and want from you, contributing to their enjoyment of life; supporting them in moments of crisis.
- Communication ‘Dance’ – creating a deeper quality of connection and mutual understanding, resolving difference and conflicts in ways that are good for all, giving high impact feedback; maintaining dialogue at all times.
The programme is built around Nonviolent Communication and you will learn the approach in a way that will enable you to apply it in all aspects of your life. The programme counts as 11 days towards Certification (9 days face to face plus 2 days online).
Who you are
This programme is for you if you are either wanting to learn NVC or wish for more fulfilling relationships at home or at work. Or both. You also wish to work with a group of like minded and hearted people.
Programme Structure
There are several, interrelated elements to the learning approach:
Induction meeting – you will meet one of the trainers and be invited to identify 3 relationships in your life where you would like to make progress. These will form the foundation for your learning and also give you a chance to track your progress day by day.
Three face to face workshops in Cluj Napoca of 3 days each to give you insights, raise your awareness, build community with trainers and participants and provide opportunities to rehearse situations and conversations:
- February 7-9 Workshop 1 – Your Inner World
- April 10-12 Workshop 2 – The World of Those Around You
- June 19-21 Workshop 3 – Dance of Communication
Each module runs from Friday morning to Sunday lunchtime.
Between workshops you will be supported through:
- structured self managed learning through assignments you will design for yourself
- weekly (minimum) empathy calls with an empathy buddy
- additional materials sent to your email address/dedicated Facebook group
- every few weeks a support group (online) hosted by one of the trainers.
The total number of study hours will be in the region of 110 hours.

Testimonials
Here is what some of our previous participants said about the programme:
Some of my inner fights are related to find ways to live more in the present, not to judge the others or to criticize myself.
Starting to interiorize the nonviolent communication, I have found easier to live more now and here. This brought to me more connection with simplicity and beauty of life. It has been life changing and full of emotions the moment when I could change my perspective and see first the human being, behind in the role, of the person I could not get along had.
Nonviolent communication brought to me tools to be in the place which poet sufi Rumi wrote about “Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and right-doing, there is a field, I’ll meet you there”. I hope I will reach to be in that place as often as possible.
