Workshop with David K. Weinstock (USA)
"Becoming what you need!"
Practices for Embodying Nonviolent Communication
from 05 to 09 November 2023
in Schlangenbad-Bärstadt
It's of the utmost importance to organize around what you deeply care about these days.
And having access to learnable skills such as managing moods, taking decisive and skillful actions, and relating to others with grounded compassion is crucial.
At the heart of my sessions, you'll find simple life practices that can give you access to those learnable skills.
These practices can help you:
Find intuitive guidance for bridging divides
Connect to deep needs that have been habitually ignored
Discharge the anxiety held in old, embodied reactions
Make decisions and take actions that align with your values
Cultivate resources for more enjoyably and capably building relationships
Combining NVC and somatic techniques increases your capacity to organize yourself physically, emotionally, and linguistically. It offers daily and lifetime practices for attuning to your body's signals and the present, direct, and immediate experience of the life you're living. It brings you face to face with the history you've embodied, your deeper self, your greatest gifts, and the motivation to live more compassionately in the world. Along the way, you'll be aligning your words and actions with everything you most deeply care about, and have some good fun!
Whether you're just beginning to learn NVC or are an advanced trainer, you'll find valuable knowledge in this course. I hope you can join us.

Thanks for such a heart opening workshop! The Somatics and Aikido really resonated with me, and “fleshed out” (pun intended) the NVC “training wheels” I’d been learning. I love that you are into sharing this work. I can think of so many friends who would love your work. I’m excited to practice with my husband Jack, and with friends who are interested.
David is one of those rare teachers who tune in completely to his audience. You feel heard, seen and empowered through his work and that is a great gift. His skill as an Aikido master blends forcefully with his creative program of Somatic Consensus. You leave with a deep awareness of your own embodied habits, and exciting new skills to help you return to center, stay neutral in crisis, and lead with your heart. I can’t recommend him and his workshops highly enough.”
The feeling is so subtle that I can’t be sure, but I have the feeling that changes are already happening inside/through my body and my being as a whole. Like it is more aligned and that the whole body is engaging in decision making processes, a better equilibrium between the rational mind, the feelings and the instinct…
The session is very meaningful and exciting for me. Gives me a sense of integration & deepening for what we’ve done together so far + provides me a possibility for a multi-dimensional practice. Thank you
I couldn’t recommend this subtly powerful journey into ourselves more highly. I am still discovering so many riches from it daily. Thanks always to David and our beautiful group
This course will put you in touch with another world within yourself and others.
It´s great to drop in everyday during a month to a group of people who have similar interest in learning. I experienced several ways to integrate NVC with body and those techniques are easy and powerful.
This group has been a lifeline for me in this time! I have found such deep value in practicing empathy and cultivating the qualities that I would like more of in my life. I feel so held by the group and David.
NVC is not the same before and after this course - It shifted such an important inner-work of centering and finding deeper balance within the everyday life.
