The NVC Online Men’s Group

For more than six years, I’ve co-facilitated the NVC Men’s group with my friend Hans Van Veen. 

This online gathering is designed for men with prior experience in Nonviolent Communication (NVC): those who have attended workshops, participated in trainings, or developed their own understanding and practice. It’s a space for connection, exploration, and community.

What We Offer

With my dear friend and NVC men’s group Co-Host Hans Van Veen

In collaboration with my dear friend and NVC men’s group co-host, Hans Van Veen, this group provides a space for men to share what’s alive in them within the framework of NVC. Together, we focus on connecting to the feelings and needsbehind our experiences, fostering greater awareness and empathy.

  • Open Sharing & Exploration: A safe space to share personal experiences, challenges, or emotions.
  • Topic Discussions: Sessions occasionally focus on topics suggested by participants or ourselves.
  • Guest Appearances: We sometimes invite guests to guide or share insights on NVC themes.
  • WhatsApp Community: Joining also brings you into our WhatsApp group of more than 100 men, where we give and receive empathy, request empathy check-ins, organise events together, share NVC resources and support one another.

Our Approach

This group is a gift. It is completely free to join. It’s a space intentionally created to connect deeply and authentically, grounded in the principles of NVC.

Interested in Joining?

If you’d like to join the men’s group, we ask that participants have some prior experience with Nonviolent Communication (NVC) to help maintain the space we’ve cultivated over the years. This could be through workshops, trainings, or a dedicated personal practice.

That said, we hold this request with flexibility. If you haven’t received ‘official’ NVC training but feel this space would be a good fit for you, let’s talk.

Please fill in the following form introducing yourself and sharing a bit about your journey with NVC: your experiences, workshops you’ve attended, or how you’ve integrated NVC into your life. From there, we can explore together the possibilities of connecting together.
