Summer Li is a CNVC Certified Trainer based in Beijing, China, and the mother of three children—including a son and twin daughters. She integrates Nonviolent Communication (NVC) deeply into her parenting and family life.
Before discovering NVC in 2012, Summer worked as the program manager at a pioneering educational research institute that introduced the latest international educational philosophies and methodologies to schools, teachers, and administrators across China. She noticed that despite learning cutting-edge pedagogy, teachers often struggled to create meaningful change in their classrooms. This led her to realize the critical impact of communication.
At her first NVC workshop, Summer experienced a profound personal shift. A long-standing disconnection toward her father—after more than a decade of distance—melted away when she connected with her own needs for ease and protection. This awakening set her on a life path of studying and sharing NVC.
In 2016, she left her senior leadership position in international education to devote herself fully to NVC. Since then, she has introduced NVC to tens of thousands of people across China through training, consulting, and public speaking. She also brought The No-Fault Zone Game—originally developed by key contributors to the NVC approach—to China and now serves as its Head Coach.
In 2023, Summer was invited to deliver a TED Talk on the theme Enjoy Conflict. Her talk was later published on the official TED website, further deepening her public engagement with communication and education.
Summer is the Program Director for China’s Certified NVC Facilitator program, an initiative of the Beijing Alliance of New Occupations, and she serves as a core team member of CALF China.
Since 2018, she has translated and proofreading over ten NVC-related books. She is writing a book featuring 81 parent-child NVC practices to support deeper relationships and awareness now and is supposed to publish in 2026.
She holds a master’s degree in Early Childhood Education Management and is especially passionate about spirituality, parenting, personal growth, and applying NVC in educational settings.

李夏（Summer Li）是CNVC认证培训师，现居中国北京，是三个孩子的母亲（一个儿子和一对双胞胎女儿）。她将非暴力沟通（NVC）深深融入自己的亲子关系与家庭生活中。
在接触非暴力沟通之前，李夏曾在一家理念前沿的教育研究院担任项目主任，致力于将国际上最新的教育理念与教学方法引介给中国的学校、教师与教育管理者。她发现，即使老师们掌握了先进的教学理论，在课堂中仍难以带来真实转变。她由此意识到，沟通方式可能才是真正影响教育改变的关键。
2012年，她首次参加NVC工作坊，经历了深刻的个人转变。她与父亲长达十多年的隔阂与怨恨，在一个课堂练习中因觉察到自己“渴望轻松与被保护”的需要而瓦解。这次觉醒，也开启了她投身非暴力沟通的旅程。
2016年，她辞去了国际教育领域的高管职位，开始全职投入非暴力沟通的推广。至今，她已将NVC带入中国成千上万人的生活中，开展培训、演讲与咨询服务，并将“无错区游戏”（The No-Fault Zone Game）引入中国，担任中国区总教练。
至今为止，李夏受邀到台湾、斯里兰卡、美国等国家和地区进行培训。李夏也希望未来把非暴力沟通带到更多国家和地区。
2023年，李夏受一所国际学校邀请，以“享受冲突”为主题进行了TED演讲，并被收录至TED官方网站，进一步拓展了她在沟通与教育领域的公众影响力。
目前，她担任由北京新职业联盟发起的非暴力沟通认证引导师项目负责人，并是CALF中国的团队协调人。自2018年起，她已参与翻译与审校十余本非暴力沟通相关书籍。目前（2026年1月），她已经完成一本聚焦非暴力沟通在亲子沟通领域的书籍，旨在帮助父母与孩子建立更深的理解与联结。
她拥有早期儿童教育管理硕士学位，热爱灵性成长、亲子教育、个人成长，并致力于将NVC应用于家庭教育、学校教育及相关领域之中。常年为父母、教育工作者和儿童开设非暴力沟通相关课程、和一对一、一对多咨询等服务。曾受邀为多所学校、机构和个人做过非暴力沟通和学习力相关培训。包括但不限于：北京顺义国际学校，北京加拿大国际学校，北京京西学校，上海美国学校，北京鼎石学校，北京哈罗国际学校，北京世青国际学校，台湾高雄美国学校，台湾高雄义大国际高中、苏州新加坡国际学校，上海西华国际学校，华东师范大学研究生院，为中国而教，联合国教科文组织等等。
