IS-900 Nonviolent Communication

Nonviolent Communication (NVC) has been described as a language of compassion, a tool for positive social change, and a spiritual practice. The process of nonviolent communication helps us create a connection with what is alive in ourselves and others moment-to-moment, facilitating discussion of tough issues and peaceful conflict resolution. The practice of NVC supports the creation of a world that works for everyone through a heightened awareness of what gets in the way of natural giving and receiving.
