About Liv

Dmitriy Kopina,
CNVC Certified Trainer (Slovenia)

I am eager to grasp different knowledge and have been a restless explorer my entire life. Working as a leader, reading full libraries of books, and attending so many classes, training events, and workshops, I have perceived myself as an encyclopedia of various technical and formal kinds of knowledge. I was always keen on sharing this knowledge and was fully dedicated to learning and sharing more, and more, and more – until one day it was really too much and it all stopped as I burned out.

Several years later, after changing my lifestyle completely, learning yoga and martial arts, connecting with nature, and finding my meaning, I met two of the “best friends” I have today: NVC – Nonviolent Communication, and CI – Contact Improvisation. Attending a similar, multi-day retreat changed my life completely, beyond words to describe, meeting Life on another level. I still attend lots of training sessions and have facilitated hundreds of my own workshops, individual coaching sessions, and therapy sessions. I enjoy changing and supporting changes and transitions in the lives of others. To this day, these several-day retreats are still my favorite events.

My life mission and purpose, working as a trainer, adviser, manager, father, and teacher, involves activities that support individuals in finding their authenticity, the fullness of life, and awareness; connecting people together; building “power with” communities based on the equality of all needs; and using forms of communication and full embodiment to support connecting individuals and groups to their essence, consciousness, and spirituality.

Organizing team

Somya Jajor, (UAE/India)

Exploring my internal world and the external motivates the journey of my life, and I seek ways to live with integrity and harmony. Alongside other beautiful practices that I have embraced, like yoga and ayurveda, NVC enables me to uncover my inner-self further, and to foster more meaningful connections with people around.

My journey with NVC began 4 years ago with reading the book, and I could feel its transformative energy. The 9-Day IIT I attended was a heart-opening experience, with absolutely brilliant trainers (some listed above on this page!). The insights helped me reflect on my relationship with my own self, and its impact on how I related with others. Bringing elements of NVC into my everyday life helps lend more clarity to understanding needs of those involved, in both personal and professional situations. I hope more and more people find access to such knowledge, and benefit from it. To be a part of the organizing team for this IIT is a small way in which I can contribute to the community, and this makes me happy.

Meta Kolenc, (Slovenia/UAE)

Working and living in an international environment enriched my appreciation for the diversity of the world’s people and their cultures, making me improve and deepen my communication skills. My natural interest in interpersonal relationships and the inner world of each individual has led me to discover NVC.

Since my first NVC retreat, I have gotten a completely new perspective of myself and the way the force of Life is expressed through me. Needless to say, it has also changed the way I communicate with others. My wish is to guide by example and to help others not only to discover their needs but also to find a unique way to authentically actualize them. When I started walking this path I began accepting who I am and what my needs are – now my mission is to support those who decided to go on that journey too. Organization of NVC reatreats and workshops is a small step of making a social change.
