Details

   Nonviolent Communication is a practical and learnable process for communicating with empathy, honesty, confidence and compassion. Nonviolent Communication supports creating a quality of connection with oneself and others in which everyone's needs are equally valued. This allows people to create strategies and meaningful solutions that resolve issues and deepen relationships in all aspects of life. Using Nonviolent Communication tools, participants will learn how to transform everyday day blame, shame, and critical expression into interactions that focus on mutual human needs.
