Would someone please briefly explain what Non Violent
Communications (NVC) is and how it works?Kerry - what a juicy and evocative conversation this is - from a question about facilitator intervention in other people's conflict towards the core of nonviolence, peace-making and space for Spirit....the emergence of the 'fire-in-the-belly' of human communication.

With its focus on human feelings and needs, the practice of NVC emphasizes emotional intelligence over intellectual analysis in expressing what's going on in people. With its reliance on objective observations rather than evaluations NVC avoids making people defend themselves from value-laden judgments. And finally, by employing clear requests in place of demands, NVC raises the bar for communication skills by allowing everyone to get their needs met on their own terms, without coercion, fear of retribution, or loss of self-esteem. Marshall Rosenberg is the sort of 'man with the hat' of NVC....happy exploration Brendan McKeague * * ========================================================== [email protected] ------------------------------ To subscribe, unsubscribe, change your options, view the archives of [email protected], Visit: http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/oslist.html
