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.
