*Nonviolent Communication (NVC) is a way of connecting that is based on empathy, compassion, and awareness. This one-hour introduction serves as a tantalizing glimpse into the rich world of nonviolent communication. While it's a brief journey, it provides a valuable overview of some essential principles.
Whether you're seeking to navigate communication hurdles, enhance your connections with others, or deepen your self-awareness and enrich life experiences, Nonviolent Communication offers valuable insights.
Phoenix’s style of teaching is focused on the consciousness and underlying principles of the NVC process so that each practitioner can express NVC authentically in their voice.
Your guides, facilitator Phoenix Soleil and her skilled assistant Shawn Berry, will infuse the session with improv theater, adding a dynamic edge to the learning experience. Although our time is limited, you'll have the opportunity to practice and get a taste of the skills involved in Nonviolent Communication, setting the stage for deeper exploration in the future.

I help people bring their values and passions to their connections and conversations so they can make a difference and have more fun making that difference. I'm an artist, activist, and educator with a deep interest in the intersections of community, emotional intelligence, and trauma. I also teach and practice Insight Meditation and am a certified trainer in Nonviolent Communication (NVC). NVC is a powerful modality that helps us connect with others and our own emotions and values for more effective and healing interactions.
Over the years, I've conducted workshops and training sessions on communication, racial justice, and meditation for various organizations, including Google, the Kellogg Foundation, UC Berkeley, the Insight Meditation Society, and the Search Inside Yourself Leadership Institute. I also provide support in mediations and facilitate restorative circles.
Since 2018, I have served as a partner and co-owner at LIFT Economy, a worker-owned cooperative consulting firm dedicated to empowering businesses to be a force for good. Additionally, living in intentional communities has been part of my journey. My experiences have given me an in-depth understanding of the complexities and challenges associated with communal living, collaborative work, and collective decision-making. I am particularly passionate about assisting individuals and organizations in cultivating healthy, thriving cultures. Additionally, I'm deeply involved in improvisational theater, freestyle rap, dance, and writing. Currently, I'm working on an Afrofuturistic sci-fi novel.
You can listen to my engaging discussion with Sharon Salzberg on fierce compassion and self-care at a presentation for Google Talks. I invite you to explore more about my work and insights through various videos and audio recordings available on my website, phoenixsoleil.com.
