I offer lectures, workshops, mediation, and individual training online, in person, and on the Needs Space platform. I came into contact with NVC in 2005, and in 2009/2010, I participated in my first annual program with Friare Liv (Liv Larsson and Kay Rung). I have participated in a wide range of NVC workshops both in Sweden and abroad. Since 2010, I have been sharing and teaching NVC myself. In 2017, I became a certified NVC trainer by CNVC. My main focus within NVC has been teaching NVC fundamentals and community building, as well as organising major events, such as the European and Swedish NVC festivals, events offered by the Swedish NVC association and the Swedish IIT 2025. What has captivated my interest lately is how we humans develop, both as individuals and as groups, and how this evolutionary drive affects our ability to learn and integrate NVC into our lives. \n
