About this series
Conflict is a natural part of human relationships. Although it can feel uncomfortable or overwhelming, it also carries the potential to deepen relationships and unlock creativity. When we approach conflict as an opportunity, it becomes an entry point to greater connection rather than a source of rupture. This four-part workshop series offers practical tools to navigate conflict with more ease and to reveal the value it can bring.
Drawing on Nonviolent Communication (NVC), mediation practices and power - dynamics awareness, we'll explore how to listen deeply, express yourself in ways others can genuinely hear you and stay grounded when tensions rise. Through guided inner work, partner exercises and group reflections, you'll begin building the capacity to transform conflict into constructive connection.
🌾 What does this look like?
Learning theoretical foundations of Non Violent Communication, mediation and power dynamic awareness
Practicing key skills through guided inner work, partner exercises, small-group exploration, and whole-group reflection in a supportive environment
Real-time application bringing your own experiences of conflict to work with
Integration practices to anchor learning between sessions
A closed group format allowing for trust, depth and continuity

Gesa, Researcher
What I most enjoyed about the course? Everything. Really. The group. both of you. The heart that was put in it. The silent moments. The beginning circle. The end. The conversation. The reflection. How all of us can come as we are and be welcomed. The honesty. The group game. The change that I felt in me in such a short time. Thank you.
Keren, Kindergarten Nature & Arts Teacher
I loved Anna’s and Caro‘s course. They bring a wide range of experiences, many lively examples and they found many creative ways to present the course material. The course experience was super fun and at the same time super informative and relevant.
Anna-Kathrin , Facilitator
This course gave me very practical tips on how to deal with hard conversations in a curious, constructive, courageous and mature way, while also giving space to my very angry side that just wants to escalate the conflict and harm (me and) the other person. I feel like I learned super important skills that will help me care for my relationships and my community. Thank you Anna and Caro, I loved how you brought yourselves fully, you inspired me to also bring myself and it even felt light and recharging in the midst of winter.
