September 18–20, 2026 • Stockholm, Sweden
NVC Dance Floor Workshop A 3-Day International Training
Discover the NVC Dance Floors, a unique, embodied way to learn, practice, and integrate Nonviolent Communication (NVC). Using large cards laid out on the floor, the Dance Floors turn complex NVC processes into clear, step-by-step practices.
This workshop will help you to:

– express yourself honestly
– respond to others with clarity and empathy.
Workshop Highlights
Embodied learning — engage your body, emotions, and mind as you learn NVC process.
Step-by-step guidance — understand and practice the 13 key NVC steps in a tangible, visual format.
Role-playing made easier — practice real-life conversations in a safe, structured space.
