Nonviolent Communication (NVC), also called Compassionate Communication, is the internationally renowned life-serving language process of Marshall B. Rosenberg, PhD. Our communication evolves as our consciousness does in this ever-changing world. With the revolutionary language process (NVC*), we speak authentically from our heart based on our deepest values. We are much more likely to be heard, understood and have our needs met when we express and listen from this place.

NVC inspires deep, meaningful connection with self & others. Tragically, our culture has habituated a language based on blame, manipulation, fear, judgments, demands and punishment, which ultimately causes anger, disconnect, and hate. This domination-based language does not serve us in a way that creates joy in ourselves or our experiences. To transform our world we begin with ourselves. I invite and strongly encourage you to consider this essential, life-serving communication process that effectively fosters loving connection through mutual respect, compassion and recognizes the divine energy in all of us.
