It is our nature to enjoy giving and receiving in a compassionate manner. There is a specific approach to communicating – both speaking and listening – that leads us to give from the heart, connecting us with ourselves and with each other in a way that allows our natural compassion to flourish. This is called Nonviolent Communication (NVC) – our natural state of compassion when violence has subsided from the heart.
Nonviolent Communication (NVC) has been called the language of life. It was developed by US psychologist Marshall B Rosenberg in the sixties, and is now practiced in more than 70 different countries.
NVC is founded on language and communication skills that strengthen our ability to remain human, even under trying conditions. It contains nothing new; all that has been integrated into NVC has been known for centuries. The intent is to remind us about what we already know – about how we humans were meant to relate to one another – and to assist us in living in a way that concretely manifests this knowledge.
NVC guides us in reframing how we express ourselves and hear others. Instead of habitual, automatic reactions, our words become conscious responses based firmly on awareness of what we are perceiving, feeling and wanting. We are led to express ourselves respectful and empatic attention. In any exchange, we come to hear our own deeper needs and those of others. NVC trains us to observe carefully, and to be able to specify behaviours and articulate what we are concretely wanting in any given situation. The form is simple, yet powerfully transformative.
Ask yourself weather:
- You would like to be able to stand up for yourself in a way it evokes cooperation and deeper connection?
- Are you fed up with trying your best and often your intention is not going through and you end up with more issues?
- Would you like to be able to hear not just what people are saying but what is in their heart?
If your hears says “Yes”, please join our program, where will practice how to
- Express verbally what is really happening in our hearts.
- Build relationships based on compassion and understanding
- Listen empathically to others without hearing blame or criticism, even if they express themselves in hostile ways.
- Notice what is blocking connection
- How to express gratitude and heart connecting way.

This program is based on Nonviolent Communication (NVC):
Nonviolent Communication (NVC) has been called the language of life. It was developed by US psychologist Marshall B Rosenberg in the sixties, and is now practiced in more than 70 different countries.
It is a language of compassion, a tool for social change, and a spiritual practice. Its basic premise is that behind all human actions are needs that people are seeking to meet. Understanding and acknowledging these needs is creating a shared basis for connection, which leads to natural care, cooperation, and peace.
This process focuses our attention on compassion as our motivation, rather than fear, guilt, blame, or shame. It emphasizes taking personal responsibility for our feelings and choices, and improving the quality of our relationships as our goal.
About Eva Rambala:
Before studying Nonviolent Communication (NVC) I thought I was born in the wrong family. I thought that to be happy I must change these people close to me. Applying “empathic listening” I found that it is enough just to fully hear what is alive in others’ hearts. When the sense of being heard comes, flexibility radically increases, and conflicts dissolve.
I discovered Nonviolent Communication (NVC) in 1996. Ever since, I have been committed to using it in every aspect of my life and, for the last eight years, been teaching it to others. I’ve seen in many different cultures how NVC effectively handles conflicts with family, friends, and colleagues in an honest, loving and compassionate manner. Of all the topics to which this approach can be applied, empathy is for me the sweetest, and I love the aliveness and the presence that comes with honesty.
In 1999, I became an authorized trainer of the International Center for Nonviolent Communication (CNVC). I worked closely with Marshall Rosenberg, the founder of CNVC for 5 years in many trainings in 30 different countries all over the globe. I love the openness and love which is created after a couple of days training. Website: http://www.rambala.hu
