Hans brought to me the language of non-violent communication. Prior to this course I had never heard the phrase, “non-violent communication.” I happen to practice some of the principles stated in this course. I learned them from a 12-Step program, but Hans has given me actual tools to use. As I walk through my days, NVC will stay with me.

This was very good information that was presented in a way that was easy to understand and it points to how to connect with my needs and the needs of others and how to improve on relating to self and others based on needs. Thank you so much for this and I hope to see more like this. I did it all in one time instead of over days because it really spoke to me and I didn’t want to wait until the next day! Some really great things to ponder and incorporate or to experiment.

Once again, I really appreciated listening to this short course. It has inspired me to actively try out some of the techniques in real life situations, to help me connect more deeply to my own needs as well as others in my life. It feels really useful and positive, and I know as a yoga/Meditation teacher my students will also appreciate a little of this wisdom of mindful communication too. Thank you Hans! 🙏🏼💜

This course was a delightful part of my morning practice. I will definitely do it again. The invitation to understand my needs and others needs is so beautiful. Deepening self connection as a pathway to connect more deeply with others is one of my takeaways. Thank you for your time to create and share this course!
