Nonviolent Communication, (NVC), is based on the principles of nonviolence-- the natural state of compassion when no violence is present in the heart. NVC begins by assuming that we are all compassionate by nature and that violent strategies—whether verbal or physical—are learned behaviors taught and supported by the prevailing culture.
NVC also assumes that we all share the same, basic human needs and that all actions are a strategy to meet one or more of these needs. People who practice NVC have found greater authenticity in their communication, Increased understanding, deepening connection, and conflict resolution.
The NVC community is active in over 65 countries around the globe.

"The nonviolent communication process strengthens our ability to remain human even under trying conditions. It reminds us about what we already know--how we humans were meant to relate to one another-- and assist us in living in ways that concretely manifest this knowledge. It is a way of interacting that facilities the flow of communication needed to resolve differences peacefully."
- Marshall Rosenberg, Ph.D. (Founder of Nonviolent Communication)
