Keiko Silbermann, CNVC Certified Trainer
Embodied NVC for Life-Serving Change

Keiko Silbermann
Keiko is a CNVC Certified Trainer based on the Big Island of Hawai'i and Okinawa Japan. Her work weaves together Nonviolent Communication (NVC) , the wisdom of Aloha spirit, and somatic awareness to support transformation at personal, relational and systemic levels.

 

Deeply influenced by the teachings of Hawaiian kumu (Traditional teachers) and her studies in somatics at the Esalen Institute, Keiko Explores NVC not only as a communication practice but as a way of living that connects spirituality, embodiment, and social change.

 

Her offerings include NVC trainings (beginner to advanced), NVC All program that includes awareness of social systems, Vision Mobilization work and practice groups in Nonviolence Core Commitments.

Keiko also contributes to expanding access to NVC in Japan by organizing workshops and supporting translation projects, including the Japanese translation team for the book Choice.

Living in Puna on the Big Island - where she experienced volcanic eruptions and powerful cycles of destruction and regeneration - has deepened her understanding that personal transformation and social transformation are inseparable. 

 

She is inspired by a vision of the world where each person reconnects with their power, and where all life is honored through deep interdependence.
