Relational healing with NVC- Where empathy meets trauma
Pernille
Why do old communication patterns stick despite our best intentions?
According to Pernille, emotional wounds from early in life shape how we interact, trust, and express ourselves. These unconscious patterns affect our relationships, inner dialogue, and even how we raise our children.
While the simplicity of NVC’s model is promising, many struggle when applying it to their most intimate connections. This frustration isn’t due to a lack of skill—it’s because our nervous system has adapted to past pain, holding onto invisible rules for survival. The good news? Healing is possible.
In this intensive, you will:
– Learn how the brain processes trauma and how resonant empathy fosters healing
– Explore the Polyvagal Theory and Sarah Peyton’s Time Travel Empathy
– Engage in simple yet profound exercises that restore choice and self-expression
– Become a trauma-informed NVC empathy buddy, supporting others in deep healing
You will learn a framework of how the brain responds to emotional stress. There will be demos and active engagement through simple exercises that illustrate and model the path of healing, brick by brick.
After this intensive, participants can expect to become trauma-informed NVC empathy buddies who can midwife each other’s emotional healing.
Everything happens in a safe and protected environment, and you will have time enough for metabolizing your experiences and reclaiming your sense of self.
Your body remembers, and this journey allows it to finally relax—whispering, “At last, someone understands us.”. Join this intensive to rediscover the freedom to choose your response in any situation.

About Pernille
I love my life. When I walk my dog in the morning and see dewdrops on the grass reflecting the whole world, and when the grandchildren laugh at me, I am happy. But it was not always so. I have left the prison of loneliness resulting in an eating disorder and later on, an abusive marriage, built.
Many helpers provided the stepping stones to my life today. Thanks to 12-step programs, Nonviolent Communication, psychotherapists, coaches, and not least Sarah Peyton and her ground-breaking Resonant Healing, today I am a person who can feel, breathe, dance, and make healthy decisions. And I support others on the same path.
I got CNVC certified in 2011, certified coach in 2012, and Resonant Healing Practitioner in 2020. I’ve been a self-employed coach and trainer since 2013
Becoming What You Need: Practices for Embodying Nonviolent Communication

Becoming What You Need: Practices for Embodying Nonviolent Communication
In times like these, it’s essential to organize your life around what you most deeply care about. That kind of alignment doesn’t just happen—it’s cultivated through daily practices and learnable skills.
In this course, we’ll work with simple, grounded practices that develop your capacity to:
- Find intuitive guidance for bridging divides
- Reconnect with deep needs that may have long gone unspoken
- Release anxiety stored in old, embodied reactions
- Make clear, values-based decisions
- Build relationships with more joy, skill, and resilience
Blending Nonviolent Communication with somatic tools, Becoming What You Need gives you the means to organize yourself—physically, emotionally, and linguistically—for the life you want to live. You’ll learn to attune to your body’s wisdom and relate to others from a more rooted, compassionate place.
This work invites you to come face-to-face with your embodied history, your deeper self, and your most life-affirming motivations. It’s a path of remembering, realigning, and reclaiming—and it’s also deeply human, connected, and sometimes even playful.
Whether you’re just stepping into the world of NVC or you’re a seasoned practitioner, there’s something here for you.
I hope you’ll join us.

Diving Into the Art and Essence of Life – Building from the Solid Ground
Anita & Dmitriy
-Embodied Step-by-Step Program into Nonviolent Communication (NVC)
Empathy is our natural state. Compassionate and honest communication isn’t just about words – it begins with our inner attitude. When we cultivate nonviolence within ourselves, we create the solid ground needed to connect with others in meaningful and authentic ways. From this grounded place, we can nurture relationships, transform conflict, and express who we truly are – caring for ourselves, others, and the world we live in.
Whether you’re new to NVC or wish to revisit and deepen your understanding of its foundations – especially through embodiment – this workshop offers the support you need to grow deep roots. And when a tree has strong roots, it can stand tall even when life’s winds blow.
This week-long program will guide you step-by-step through the basics of NVC, blending clear explanation with self-reflection, movement, experiential practices, and play. Creative elements and role-play will help bring the learning to life, making it both grounded and enjoyable.
What to Expect:
- Building Inner Capacity: From Self-Connection to Connection with Others

We look forward to diving into this rich journey with you!

About Anita
Anita Gomezel is a social pedagogue, a TCT® (Transpersonal Cognitive Therapy) therapist, and a trauma therapist using the N.A.R.M. (Neuro Affective Relational Model) method. She is the founder of the Zaživi Sebe® (Live Yourself) personal transformation program.
Anita has been in Nonviolent Communication since 2011 and has been teaching it for eight years. For the past 17 years, Anita has been leading various workshops, courses, and seminars for personal spiritual development. She aims to help people return from alienation back to their true selves, a path she herself has walked.
She says she is a student of Life and has earned what she has learned through difficult experiences. She knows what it’s like to be at the bottom, to not know who you are, to not feel emotions, not even a body… when your way of life is self-destruction, driven by countless negative patterns. She knows what it’s like to get out of the grip of deep complex traumas and stand on your own two feet. To go from nothing, to – piece by piece – live yourself until you really are who you are.
Anita likes to help people walk this path to authenticity, and then go even deeper, into transpersonal levels because she believes that the path of personal spiritual development is always worth everything it brings.
She connects all psychological knowledge with spirituality in the desire to create a holistic view of Human development. Her guidelines are compassion, support, aliveness, depth, and awareness.
In her spare time, she likes to spend time with her daughter, meditate, dance, read, walk in nature, and bake cookies.

About Dmitriy
Being human at first, finding a precious gift of Life in me and any other living being, thru connection and empathy, is the main aim of Life in me. Deeply connected with mother Nature I’m in my quest toward exploration, joy, growth, care, love, and admire the beauty of needs and feelings Life brings to us.
My mission and my goals involve activities that are supporting individuals finding their authenticity, the fullness of life and awareness; connecting people, building “power with” communities based on equality of all needs, and using forms of communication and full embodiment to support connecting individuals and groups into their essence, conciseness and spirituality.
Working as a trainer, expert, adviser, manager, father, and teacher for over 30 years I gathered a broad variety of experiences and I’m very keen on sharing them with other individuals, couples, in business environments and especially enjoying reinventing teams, organizations, and communities.
