Introduction to Nonviolent Communication (NVC)

Would you like a new way to approach conflict?

Do you wish you had more meaningful interactions with your friends, clients, family, and co-workers?

Do you want to respond with more clarity and calm to difficult situations and relationships?

Join us as we explore and practice the tools and approach of Compassionate or Nonviolent Communication (NVC).

NVC is a world-renowned, proven process that addresses the most common barriers to communication, and offers greater possibilities for collaboration, mutual acceptance, and support.

The "needs-based" orientation of NVC has been used widely in organizations, schools, businesses, relationships, and families.

Through structured activities using real situations, you will begin to:

Shift from judgments, blame and anger toward curiosity and mutual understanding
Understand the disconnection of win-lose, right-wrong communication
Take responsibility for our speech and actions with more self-compassion
Express your needs without blame and criticism
