In 2022 Aya was contacted by Pastor Samuel and his wife Faida, the co-founders of the Peace and Conflict Resolution Foundation (www.foundationpcr.org ), asking her to offer Nonviolent Communication training to their community in Eastern D.R Congo.

They told her that their vision was to establish a society in D.R Congo where people and communities are empowered with the skills to overcome conflict by equipping the generation to come with leadership capacities and peace building skills necessary to end the cycle of violence in their country.

It was an immediate YES and together with CT Samuel Ogala from Kenya, and assisted by certification candidates Nora Heiber and Jen Franklin, we offered a 2 day free NVC training via zoom to more than 50 participants.

Since then Aya has been in touch with Samuel and Faida and continues to support them and their community.

" Aya's workshop invited me to process the steps of Nonviolent Communication very slowly, layer by layer. The repairing work showed me how to approach more challenging situations in my relationships. Slowing down between those steps allowed me to understand my responsibility in each one . Her work reminded me of the narrative often imposed on us, where everyone is either guilty or a victim for some reason and rarely responsible and that what struck me the most to realize that non-violent communication is not just a four-step technique. Instead, when we are ready to move to a more heartfelt place and embrace the innocence of ourselves it becomes something we naturally live and we get ready to share that innocence field with other beings...I'm also grateful for the chance to experience how Aya welcomed an impact in real time during our session—it created a field of love honesty and connection. "

" The concept of the field of innocence deeply resonated with me. It has become a compassionate reminder that I will actively use in my relationships. "

" It was incredibly meaningful to witness Aya take transparent responsibility for the impact she had while sharing her own experience and to see how she deepened the connection step by step. "
