How-to-Work-with-Anger Training
Anger is a natural emotion, but it often becomes a challenge when we don’t understand it or aren’t able to express it in a healthy way. In this module, we will learn how to understand the roots of our anger and how to manage it so that it doesn’t harm our relationships. We’ll also explore how to respond when others are angry without falling into confrontation.
Using real-life examples and case studies from interactions with children, teenagers, partners, parents, and colleagues, we will explore different strategies for handling difficult situations. We will learn to recognize the signals of anger, express our needs, and create space for empathy even in tense moments.
This Nonviolent Communication workshop will support you in building stronger relationships, gaining deeper insight into your own emotions and those of others, and responding with empathy in challenging situations. Practical exercises and real-life examples make the workshop applicable both in personal and professional contexts.
Price: 420 EURO

Why gift yourself this experience? 💛
This is not just a retreat – it’s a full immersion into the world of empathic communication. For six days, we will live NVC, laugh, share, and grow together.
✨ Certified NVC trainer – from Germany- Irmtraud Kaucshat, offering personal support, varied approaches, and small group guidance.
✨ Experiential learning with a touch of theory – we will practice empathy through real-life situations to make NVC part of our daily lives.
✨ Building community – we live, learn, and practice together, creating space for authentic and compassionate connection.
✨ Recharging your empathy battery – time for reflection, self-awareness, and inspiration, whether you’re new to NVC or have years of experience.
What will we explore together?
🌱 Limiting Beliefs
What are the invisible barriers we create for ourselves? How do they hold us back in communication? We will learn to recognize and transform them into supportive inner narratives.
🛑 Setting Boundaries – Saying and Hearing “No”
How can we say “no” without guilt? How can we receive a “no” without taking it personally? We’ll develop the skills to set healthy boundaries while maintaining connection.
👀 Transforming the “Enemy Image”
Do you have someone in your life you struggle to connect with – a colleague, ex-partner, parent, child, politician…? Often, we don’t see the person, but rather our fears, disappointments, or labels. We’ll learn to notice when this happens and how to reconnect with the human being behind the image.
🦒 Street Giraffe – Empathy in Everyday Language
How can we speak empathically without sounding artificial? We’ll find ways to integrate NVC into everyday conversations in a natural and comfortable way.
These are the planned topics, and at the same time, we’ll follow what’s alive in the group. Let’s create the program together.

🌻 For those who are just discovering NVC and want to take their first steps in a safe and supportive environment.

WORKSHOP 3
3 days With Irmtraud Kauschat
Location: Sofia, Druzhba 1
Date: 07.10 – 09.10 2025
Time: 10am – 5pm
This module is a unique opportunity to deepen your understanding of NVC consciousness under the guidance of Irmtraud Kaushat, an experienced trainer and mentor. Together, we will explore what NVC consciousness means and assess where you are on your journey of growth.
Participants will have the chance to present a theoretical input, an exercise, or a concept for a session on a topic of their choice (approximately 20 minutes) and receive feedback from both participants and the trainer/assessor. Please inform Irmtraud in advance if you wish to present. Before starting the feedback process, there will be a short introduction on NVC-based feedback as a reminder.
The training will also focus on practicing dance floors and providing feedback related to their use, offering a rich space to refine your skills and deepen your understanding of this method. Additionally, we will work with key differentiations (refer to the CPP) and the self-assessment matrix “Pathways to Liberation,” giving you a clear idea of where to take your next step in development.
Price: 550-800 euro
