Becoming What You Need

Join David Weinstock in a Learning Community over the course of one year for an online foundation beginning January 6, 2026. We’ll meet twice a month, on the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays of each month, 10:00–12:00 PT. Each session will be translated into Italian, recorded, and supported with practices between meetings. Each month, we will explore a chapter from my book, Becoming What You Need, where  I will offer a unique set of somatic practices for embodying Nonviolent Communication as a creative, lifelong learning path.

Spreading the journey over twelve months gives us the space and time to take practices into daily life and return with fresh insights.
Spaces are limited (35 participants plus support staff). Now is a good time to invite a friend who may be interested. Whether you are new to NVC or an experienced trainer, you’ll find fresh practices for embodying and sharing this work.

There will be a discounted rate until October 30th.  If this speaks to you—or to someone you know—please consider registering or passing it along.

At the heart of this virtual course are simple yet deep practices to explore NVC as a whole-body/mind, lifelong art and practice, for listening empathically through tough conversations, finding common ground, and speaking your truth with power and compassion.    

These series offer an integrated physical, emotional, and linguistic map for practicing and understanding Nonviolent Communication processes. Here we take the time and space for practice to establish awareness and attention to the messages of our feelings and emotions during challenging and triggering moments. This allows our body’s signals to become an “inner guidance system” that brings direction and clarity to the choices at hand for creating collaborative strategies that honor everyone’s needs.
 

David Weinstock supported translators and associate trainers will present basic principles and offer experiential practices that offer a somatic connection to the consciousness and qualities underlying this art and compassionate discipline.

Diventa ciò di cui hai Bisogno

Diventare ciò di cui hai bisogno Unisciti a David Weinstock in una comunità di apprendimento per un anno, per un percorso di formazione online a partire dal 6 gennaio 2026. Ci incontreremo due volte al mese, il 1° e il 3° martedì di ogni mese, dalle 10:00 alle 12:00 (fuso orario del Pacifico). Ogni sessione sarà tradotta in italiano, registrata e supportata da pratiche tra un incontro e l'altro. Ogni mese esploreremo un capitolo del mio libro, "Diventare ciò di cui hai bisogno", in cui offrirò una serie unica di pratiche somatiche per incarnare la Comunicazione Nonviolenta come un percorso di apprendimento creativo e permanente. Distribuire il percorso su dodici mesi ci dà lo spazio e il tempo per applicare le pratiche nella vita quotidiana e tornare con nuove intuizioni. I posti sono limitati (35 partecipanti più lo staff di supporto). Questo è un buon momento per invitare un amico che potrebbe essere interessato. Che tu sia un neofita della CNV o un formatore esperto, troverai nuove pratiche per incarnare e condividere questo lavoro. Ci sarà una tariffa scontata fino al 28 ottobre. Se questo articolo ti ha colpito, o ha colpito qualcuno che conosci, ti preghiamo di registrarti o di condividerlo. 

Al centro di questo corso virtuale ci sono pratiche semplici ma profonde per esplorare la CNV come un'arte e una pratica che coinvolge corpo e mente per tutta la vita, per ascoltare con empatia anche nelle conversazioni piĂą difficili, trovare un terreno comune ed esprimere la propria veritĂ  con forza e compassione.

Queste serie offrono una mappa integrata fisica, emotiva e linguistica per praticare e comprendere i processi di Comunicazione Nonviolenta. Qui ci prendiamo il tempo e lo spazio per la pratica, per stabilire consapevolezza e attenzione ai messaggi dei nostri sentimenti ed emozioni durante i momenti difficili e stimolanti. Questo permette ai segnali del nostro corpo di diventare un "sistema di guida interiore" che porta direzione e chiarezza alle scelte da intraprendere, per creare strategie collaborative che rispettino i bisogni di tutti.

I traduttori e i formatori associati supportati da David Weinstock presenteranno i principi di base e offriranno pratiche esperienziali che offrono una connessione somatica con la coscienza e le qualità alla base di quest'arte e disciplina compassionevole.

Becoming What You Need

Facilitated by David Weinstock

Join David Weinstock for an immersive course that weaves together somatic practices, Nonviolent Communication (NVC), and the intuitive wisdom of the body. This 8-week journey invites you to experience NVC not just as a tool for language, but as a full-body/mind practice for creating connection, transforming conflict, and living more authentically.

Through simple, embodied practices, you’ll develop the ability to listen and speak from a deeper center—grounding your actions in what matters most to you, and responding to life with presence, clarity, and compassion.

Why This Work Matters

How we shape ourselves is inseparable from how we shape our relationships—and how the world responds to us in return. Beyond words, our gestures, tone, posture, and habits hold powerful influence. These embodied stories often run the show unconsciously, especially under stress. This training helps you:

  • Notice and work with habitual reactions instead of getting caught in them.

  • Transform internal conflict into clarity and compassionate action.

  • Listen more deeply to your body as a guide for wise response.

  • Reconnect with what you love and what gives your life meaning.

Whether you're a beginner or seasoned NVC practitioner, therapist, teacher, parent, coach, or facilitator—this program supports the inner and outer work of living NVC from the inside out.

Words from David

“It's of the utmost importance these days to organize around what you deeply care about. The skills to manage your moods, take decisive and skillful action, and relate to others with grounded compassion are not only learnable—they’re essential.”

“Whether you're just beginning or have years of experience, you'll find something of value here. This is a space for discovery, for practice, and for remembering how to live in alignment with your deepest values.”
