Nonviolent Communication (NVC) is a way of connecting rooted in empathy, compassion, and awareness.
This one-hour session offers a tantalizing glimpse into the world of NVC— a carefully curated introduction to a few essential principles.
Whether you're navigating communication challenges, wanting to strengthen your relationships, or simply curious about what NVC has to offer, this session provides a meaningful starting point.
Our style of teaching emphasizes the consciousness and deeper intentions behind NVC, helping each person find authentic, grounded ways to practice it in their own voice. We also bring the learning to life with real-world examples and encourage participants to share situations from their own lives so the group can explore how NVC principles might apply.
While our time together will be brief, you’ll have the chance to reflect, connect, and get a taste of what it’s like to learn and practice NVC—a springboard for more in-depth exploration down the line.

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.
