What people have said about our live course…
Digital Course Format
This self-paced online course is laid out in eight easy to navigate modules. Each module contains:
lesson videos with clear explanations of NVC concepts and examples from real life
reflection exercises that support you to explore and integrate the concepts
home practices for you to practice what you are learning and begin to bring the concepts into your everyday life
downloadable handouts that include key resources and worksheets to support your learning
The course platform is optimized for computer, tablet or smartphone access.
Closed captioning is available on all videos.
You have life-time* access to the course with automatic access to any updates or additional material.
There are no course prerequisites, however, you may benefit from reading Nonviolent Communication, A Language of Life by Marshall Rosenberg
* By “life-time”, we mean the the life-time of the course, nor yours or ours. As this course is foundational to our work in Nonviolent Communication, we expect it to be available for a long time. If, for whatever reason, the course is retired, we promise that you will receive ample notice.
Completing this course qualifies you for registration in our three-month in-depth Applied NVC Program!
More Than Just A Course
The Fundamentals course doesn’t just teach you the powerful foundation of Nonviolent Communication; it’s also designed to be a trusted resource you can return to anytime.

Offering services in the digital space means our customers are all around the world. This also means our impact is global too, which we are thrilled by!
As a notable amount of our business expenses are billed in USD and many of our customers are USA based, it makes sense that we would offer our services in the corresponding currency.
As a Canadian, I am sensitive to the exchange rate disparity between CAD and USD. As such, I invite Canadian residents to use the code OHCANADA at checkout for an approximation of pricing in CAD. I hope this helps with a sense of fairness and access.
If you are outside Canada / USA and would benefit from a currency adjustment in pricing, please let me know.
