NVC – Nonviolent Communication Highly Recommended

Practise, Practise, Practise is a key learning from a refresher in Kate Raffin’s NVC workshop that was offered recently at Crystal Waters.
Robin and team highly recommend NVC to the world for peaceful communications, a compassionate world and shared empathy spaces to nurture our hearts and souls.

What is NVC? Here’s a definition from Robin’s soon to be published ‘Dynamic Teaching and Facilitation’ Book.

Nonviolent Communication: A life practice and set of principles and skills that enable compassionate communication, empathy, authenticity and connection. It helps people have ‘power with’ rather than ‘power over’ and to express their feelings, needs and deep truth with others, with themselves and in groups and organisations.
