Nonviolent Communication and Reparations |
Nonviolent Communication and ReparationsBy Alan Rafael Seid, CNVC Certified Trainer Author’s note: I wrote this article as an expert in NVC, not an expert in reparations or race relations. I am a bilingual/bicultural white male — so the words below are influenced by my personal experience. I am not presenting this article as the
final word on the intersection of history, racism, and reparations, but rather as my perspective on how NVC interacts with these areas. This article is an exploration of the role of Nonviolent Communication (NVC) in the societal discussion around reparations, specifically for Black Americans. Let’s first define the terms NVC and reparations. What is NVC and what are Reparations? Explanation of the concept of reparations and its relevance in today’s society “Reparations are a concept rooted in international law that involves specific forms of repair to specific individuals, groups of people, or nations for specific harms they have experienced in violation of their human rights.” The meaning of reparations is in the root of the word: it means to repair. The conversation around reparations in the United States begins with a recognition of the impact of centuries of relationships of unequal power (to put it mildly)... Read More

Help Bridge Divides with NVC Training
"The Network for Nonviolent Communication is a community of people from all walks of life. We are a diverse group of individuals across the spectrum of spirituality, politics, race and gender. Normally, people like us would never cross paths. So what brings us all together? We are learning how to bridge the divide between one another. We envision a world of collaboration, belonging and compassion. We are making that
world accessible to all through NVC training at the International Intensive Training in New Mexico." There are 16 individuals that significantly need financial support to attend the 9 day CNVC International Intensive Training in New Mexico. This group comes from all around the US, and each individual has a unique story which you can read about on the GoFundMe page.

When people hear needs, it provokes compassion. When people hear diagnoses, it provokes defensiveness and attack. Marshall Rosenberg |
CDs and DVDs We offer Audio and Video of Marshall Rosenberg's teachings and wisdom. Nonviolent Communication provides powerful tools for resolving differences at personal, professional, and political levels. Dr. Rosenberg first created and began to offer Nonviolent Communication skills training to peacefully integrate schools and other public institutions during the 1960s. Since then, Dr. Rosenberg
and his associates have introduced NVC in over thirty countries to educators, students, parents, managers, mental health and health care providers, military officers, peace activists, lawyers and mediators, prisoners, police and clergy, and more.

BEST FRIENDS… Accept you as you are. Believe in you. Challenge you to
soar. Do whatever it takes. Empathize and encourage. Follow up and follow through. Grow forever memories. Have your back covered. Inspire you to do your best. Just call to say, “Hi” Know when somethings up. Look for the best in you. Multiply joys and divide sorrows. Never leave you behind. Overcome adversity together. Pick you up when you are down. Quickly forgive and make up. Remind you of your greatness. Smile when they think of you. Thrive on shared trust. Understand when to “just” listen. Value caring honesty. Walk with you, side by side. Xperience ups and downs. Yearn to ‘be there’ for you. Zest to be together. © Meiji Stewart

The only difference between the beauty of one person and the beauty of another is the concept of
beauty that people have. —Don Miguel Ruiz
Getting Past Our Judgments Do you sometimes feel overwhelmed with your judgments of self and others? Once when I was driving, I noticed a woman walking down the street. Without being aware at first, I thought, “Well, that’s a particularly ugly outfit she’s wearing.” A few minutes later,
I caught myself thinking, “Who would drive a car like that?” I started to get a glimpse into how fast and unrelenting my judgments of others were. I vowed to myself that I was going to relieve myself of this pattern. I asked God to help me be aware of my judgments in the moment. Then whenever I caught myself judging, either aloud or silently, I immediately translated it. When I caught myself thinking, “Well, that’s a particularly ugly outfit,” I would translate it into, “When I see orange and
red together, I feel annoyed because it doesn’t meet my need for beauty.” Later, I started shortening it to “Orange and red don’t meet my need for beauty.” In this way, I am acknowledging my own feelings and needs without judging or blaming someone else. Learning to do this took time, but after a while I began to notice that I was less judgmental, which allowed more room for compassion. Notice how many judgments you have of yourself and other people today and begin translating those judgments into your feelings and needs. |
