Foundation Training in Nonviolent Communication - Friday 12th & Saturday the 13th September 10am - 5 pm Nonviolent Communication (NVC) is a practical, learnable process for communicating with empathy, honesty, power and compassion. The purpose of NVC is to ensure everyone’s needs are valued equally and fulfilled in ways that contribute to connection, harmony and peace.
Nonviolent Communication develops people’s ability to listen to and transform blame, anger and criticism into respectful, constructive communication, and to resolve conflicts peacefully.
NVC is a means for giving feedback empathically, so as to sustain self esteem, and enable people to learn and grow.
