Teaching life skills for reaching across differences, resolving conflicts,
and building more long-lasting, meaningful connections.
“Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing,
there is a field. I’ll meet you there.
When the soul lies down in that grass,
the world is too full to talk about.
Ideas, language, even the phrase “each other”
doesn’t make any sense.”
– Rumi

Nonviolent Communication
What is Nonviolent Communication (NVC)?
“Nonviolent Communication is based on the principle of ahimsa – the
natural state of compassion when no violence is present in the heart.”
~Marshall Rosenberg*
