About the programme

Attunement into Now — Anda Kal Canda Kal in Turkish — is an introductory programme for anyone taking their first step into Nonviolent Communication. The Turkish name holds two invitations at the heart of NVC: stay in the present moment (anda kal) and stay connected to life (canda kal).

Across 36 hours you learn the core skills of Nonviolent Communication through both theory and a great deal of practice, in a supportive group. The programme runs online or in person.

Who is it for?

Anyone can join — no prior knowledge of NVC is needed. If any of these sound like you, this programme was built for you:

You want to communicate better in your relationships, at home, at work or among friends
You are looking for a different approach to conflict and disagreement
You want to express your own feelings and needs more clearly
You want to put empathy into genuine practice
You have heard of Nonviolent Communication, you are curious, and you do not know where to begin

What the programme covers

Step by step, you explore and practise these core skills:

The four steps: observation, feeling, need, request — the basic framework of NVC
What blocks communication — noticing the habits that cut connection
The capacity for empathy — meeting yourself and others with empathy
The capacity for honest expression — clear, sincere, without judgment
Ways of saying “no” and “yes” — boundaries and consent
Building common ground — finding solutions from shared needs

…and more. Every topic is grounded in real-life examples and live practice.
