Embodying Nonviolent Communication

Community, at home and in the workplace, is created moment to moment.  Now we can do it purposefully. Embodying Nonviolent Communication gives us tools to practice while we are working, mobilizing our physical, emotional and linguistic resources to walk our talk with power AND compassion.

 

Clear honest communication and skillful listening is at the heart of this series.

Embodying Nonviolent Communication trains our attention to the needs underlying conflict.  This keeps difficult moments from turning violent and leads to creative and collaborative problem solving.

“Under duress, we do not rise to our expectations – we fall to the level of our training”

- Bruce Lee

What they say about the NVC DOJO


“Foremost in my mind is my excitement and joy in how deeply the Aikido movements actually support and facilitate the embodiment of NVC consciousness as I understand and hold it. I also appreciated David’s fluidity with integrating those and sharing them in a very accessible way. I was enthused to use some of the movements the very next weekend in a workshop I gave, as streamlining the integration of NVC consciousness in students is my foremost intention, and his presentation certainly supports that.”

-- Lauren Swift, Certified NVC trainer, Grass Valley
