The Center for Nonviolent Communication

The Center for Nonviolent Communication

A global organization helping people connect compassionately with themselves and one another through Nonviolent Communication language, created by Marshall B. Rosenberg, Ph.D.

What is Nonviolent Communication?

Imagine connecting with the human spirit, in each person, in any situation.

Imagine interacting with others in a way that allows everyone’s needs to be equally valued.

Imagine creating organizations and life-serving systems responsive to our needs and the needs of our environment.

Nonviolent Communication (NVC) helps connect us with what is alive in ourselves and in others moment-to-moment, with what we or others could do to make life more wonderful, and with an awareness of what gets in the way of natural giving and receiving.

NVC language strengthens our ability to inspire compassion from others and respond compassionately to others and ourselves. NVC guides us to reframe how we express ourselves, how we hear others and resolve conflicts by focusing our consciousness on what we are observing, feeling, needing, and requesting.

Nonviolent Communication Language: It awakens empathy and honesty, and is sometimes described as “the language of the heart.”

Quantum Learning » Nonviolent living for all

This site is for people who want to live their lives ‘nonviolently’ and could use some support, inspiration or a gentle (nonviolent) kick up the rear. Here you will find some of my own experiences (past and present), things that inspire me, general musings and practical things I find especially useful. I’ve chosen to write this in a blog format as it’s ‘work-in-progress’ and constantly changing and developing.
