  • Trust in what matters most to us
  • Draw strength from conviction
  • Observations vs. Judgements
  • Working with anger
  • Seeking Mutuality, with Respect for all concerned
 
A goal is to get comfortable being in relationship with those who think differently in your family and communities.

What is Nonviolent Communication (NVC)? (From the CNVC website cnvc.org)
 
 
With Nonviolent Communication (NVC) we learn to hear our own deeper needs and those of others. Through its emphasis on deep listening—to ourselves as well as others—NVC helps us discover the depth of our own compassion. This language reveals the awareness that all human beings are only trying to honor universal values and needs.
 
NVC helps us see our common humanity, using our power in a way that honors everyone's needs, and a concrete set of skills which help us create life-serving families and communities.
 
The form is simple, yet powerfully transformative.
 
 
Through the practice of NVC, we can learn to clarify what we are observing, what emotions we are feeling, what values we want to live by, and what we want to ask of ourselves and others. We will no longer need to use the language of blame, judgment or domination. We can experience the deep pleasure of contributing to each others' well being.
 
NVC creates a path for healing and reconciliation in its many applications, ranging from intimate relationships, work settings, health care, social services, police, prison staff and inmates, to governments, schools and social change organizations.

“Communication skills are not a luxury. They are essential for the health of our society and planet as well as for our personal wellbeing. Deepening your own communication skill is something you can do to change the world that does not involve convincing, arguing, blaming, or becoming a political activist,”
David Steele, Non-Violent Communications trainer in Denver.
