Welcome to the NVC Practice Group for seasoned practitioners—the folks who’ve sipped, gulped, or straight-up chugged the NVC Kool-Aid and are hungry for more.
Together, we’ll dive deep into the messy, magical, and sometimes maddening world of real-life NVC. Whether it’s workplace power struggles, sticky feedback conversations, or navigating those moments when “compassion” feels like a four-letter word.
Each session will have a topic or focus, including “Saying No with Care” or “Managing Power Dynamics.”
These are complex topics, and one of the things Phoenix cares most about is making NVC feel doable, not abstract or robotic. I want you to be able to speak from the heart, not just repeat concepts. This is about keeping your authenticity, even when things get messy.
We’ll also get real about the tension between our ideals and the realities we face. I put a lot of emphasis on the self-care side of this work—so that in trying to live our values, we don’t lose ourselves or stretch past our capacity.
We’ve got 4 more sessions, and each one is available as a drop-in (no need to register for the whole series).
By purchasing all four of the NVC Practice Group sessions currently scheduled through October of 2025 you will get a 30% discount on each session. A la carte Practice Group sessions are $50 each. By purchasing all four the price per session is $35. The total cost for all 4 sessions when purchased at once is $140. However, once we reach 10 total sign-ups for the series, we’ll close the group to maintain a sense of intimacy and continuity. Anyone who’s already registered—either for a drop-in or the full series—will still be welcomed in, but we won’t be accepting any new participants after that point.
So if you’re thinking about joining, now’s a great time to sign up!
