The approach:
The approach we use to connect to and understand yourself or your partner (or any other human being) is based on Nonviolent Communication principles.

Your facilitator Rico Bergemann
Rico from Berlin is deeply passionate about restoring harmony and compassion—within oneself and in relating with others, and the environment. Grounded in Nonviolent Communication (NVC) and NVC-based mediation, Rico combines his skills, presence, and intuition to facilitate a journey for individuals, couples, and groups toward clarity, learning, connection, and a way forward -valuing everyone's needs.
His diverse background began in athletics, with attendance at a sports school and a degree in mechanical engineering. After completing his studies, Rico traveled across Europe, taking on various roles: teaching in a primary school, working as an engineer in Germany, picking grapes in Switzerland, assisting a car mechanic, living in an eco-village in Sicily, working in construction in Malta, and more. These experiences helped him develop a deep empathy for people from many walks of life, allowing him to connect easily with others, regardless of their backgrounds.
Rico’s personal development journey started with meditation and expanded into a range of self-growth practices, including Nonviolent Communication (NVC), Tantra, Bhakti Yoga, and Vipassana meditation. Through this journey, he came to understand the importance of recognizing the full spectrum of human needs—physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual—for true well-being and fulfillment."

Rico supported my partner Dara and I in a spontaneous reflection session when we were stuck in some patterns that were creating violent communication and passive aggression. His ability to listen empathically and neutrally was a great support for us to bring the situation into the depth of what we were truly feeling inside ourselves and beyond the surface projections. I thoroughly encourage you to enjoy time with Rico and allow him to reflect what you may be finding hard to see. This intuitive ability that he shows, feels natural, loving and sincere.

I can highly recommend Rico as a fascilitator and wonderful human being. When witnessing and benefitting from the gentle and yet profound work he offers I felt immediately seen and held in a space of great empathy, non-judgment and love. Its hard to describe something that unfolds so naturally and let’s the heart melt so softly. And It’s really worth it.

Joining the NVC workshop with Rico was a truly heart-opening experience and gave me the opportunity to practice this communication tool with others during the workshop using real-life scenarios. Rico holds space in such an inspiring way, allowing the NVC group to learn together, and allowing the group to relate on an authentic level whilst encouraging self-reflection and healthy, empathic communication with others. This NVC workshop is truly motivating and I left with a sense of well-being and eagerness to continue learning with the NVC community. Thank you Rico for hosting this awesome workshop.

Participating in this NVC workshop, helped me to be more mindful about my response when I get triggered. I learned that it's important to know what I'm feeling and what I need so that I can communicate that properly to resolve a difficult situation. I learned that it's not about focusing on the other, but rather going within and being honest about what's coming up inside of me and what are my needs.
