In 2006 when I was introduced to Nonviolent Communication (NVC) it became clearer to me that, when looking for peace and harmony in the world, we need to start on the level of each human being and her or his (universal) human needs. NVC is a process of communication using a concrete set of skills that help us to aligne with our deep universal needs and from that place we engage and create life-serving relationships, communities, workplaces and companies. On a deeper level NVC is more than 'just' a set of skills, it can be used as a spiritual practice, a way of life in full awareness of our common humanity and desire to honors everyone's needs. NVC was developed by Marshall B. Rosenberg Ph.D. Currently I am a candidate in the process of CNVC certification
Next to learning and practicing NVC, in 2011 I also obtained a Diploma in the Humanist Counselling at The Academy for Counselling and Coaching (ACC) in the Netherlands. This was a part of my desire to constructively use my life experience and knowledge in order to help others to look into themselves and find that light that, in my experience, everyone carries inside them.
At the moment, my interests are the application and evolution of NVC in the area of: conscious intentional living, (unconditional) love, loss and conscious grieving.
