Trainers in Nonviolent Communication

Encounters that reconnect us.

For more than three decades, Katarina and Klaus-Dieter Gens have guided people into the language of the heart — Nonviolent Communication as taught by Dr. Marshall B. Rosenberg.

Deep roots

Klaus-Dieter Gens was among the first German trainers certified by Marshall Rosenberg in 1999. For over ten years, he and Katarina volunteered to coordinate Marshall's visits to Northern and Eastern Germany.

Lived experience

Hundreds of seminars, twenty-five trainer-training cohorts, and countless one-to-one journeys — always carried by real human meeting, never by method alone.

A community

Out of a wish to make NVC literature accessible, Conex books and more was born — for over twenty years a hub for the practice in the German-speaking world.

Behind every conflict lies a longing for connection. Our work is simply to help each other listen again.
