Why Learn Nonviolent Communication (NVC)?

Marshall Rosenberg's process Nonviolent Communication, which was named out of a sense of alignment with Gandhi's movement of truth-telling and compassion, is a world-famous, proven, time-tested methodology to empower you to:

Create mutual understanding without coercion

Speak your truth in a clear, powerful way more likely to lead to harmony than conflict

Offer compassionate understanding to others

Know when and how to ask for that same understanding for yourself

Prevent and resolve misunderstandings and conflicts

Create exceptional personal and professional relationships

Practice

NVC tools and skills

 

Expand

your understanding of how to apply NVC in life

 

Connect

with others who are also practicing and growing in their NVC knowledge and skills

This group is not:

 

✖  individual or group therapy

✖  individual coaching

✖  getting your needs for empathy met

Though we will practice empathy, the purpose of the group is different than that of offering individuals a place to get heard and empathically understood. We may be able to guide someone to further resources.

Develop your skills in community

 

NVC is a great set of tools that can help you with life’s biggest interpersonal challenges!

AND there’s a big difference between having a tool and being skillful with that tool.

When life's challenging situations and interactions show up — that is when you want your skills already developed!

 

You need three ingredients to become fluent in NVC:

  1. interior clarity
  2. a community of support
  3. consistent, regular practice
