Communication (NVC), you will gain tools to relate with yourself and others with more compassion.

The Compassion Course Online Begins on June 24th The 52-week journey is built on one core idea: everything we do, we do to meet a need. Each
week builds on the last, gradually shifting how you see yourself, others, and conflict itself. Participants consistently report that they learn to: - Stay connected to their values under stress
- Recover faster when connection is lost
- Navigate difficult conversations with clarity and care
- Translate judgment into understanding
- Express appreciation with
authenticity
- Build more harmony in relationships at home and at work
This course is grounded in the work of Marshall Rosenberg and informed by Thom Bond’s decades of teaching and mentoring in compassionate communication. Learn More |
The Relationship Foundation Continuing to Make a Difference with Nonviolent Communication Recent and ongoing funding cuts are impacting The Relationship Foundation's work with schools. We would be most grateful for any contribution that would help us to continue our work teaching children and teens about respect and compassion. There is so much to be accomplished to help kids survive and thrive in this chaotic,
tech obsessed, world of bullying, and dysfunctional home and school lives.

Nonviolent Communication and Marketing: putting empathy and being of service at the center of how you promote, persuade, and connect
by Alan Rafael Seid, CNVC Certified Trainer This article has two audiences in mind. The first is NVC trainers and practitioners who want to reach more people as well as understand NVC-aligned marketing better. The other is marketers — people already engaged in the practice of marketing — who want to do it ethically and in a way that builds genuine connection. Those are two worlds that on the surface don’t seem to have much overlap. And yet, there is a valuable conversation happening at that very intersection. On the one side you have the world of Nonviolent Communication (NVC) — a practice of radical empathy, honest self-expression, personal empowerment, and meaningful human connection. On the other: the world of “marketing” — often dismissed as the
art of getting people to do things they wouldn’t otherwise do. I think that dismissal is costing us and the world. It’s costing NVC trainers who have something genuinely world-changing to offer who also struggle with how to reach the people who need it. And it’s costing marketers who are tired of feeling like they’re manipulating people but don’t know another way. Read More For more than 60 topics, please visit www.nonviolentcommunication.com

Parenting Through the Seasons: A Companion for Self-Discovery and Daily Life with Children
Now Available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble and more!
This newly published book, Parenting Through the Seasons—A companion for Self-Discovery and Daily Life with Children, is a delightful read. It is part memoir and part suggestions for parenting in ways that work for parents and children. In addition, Parenting through the Seasons gently invites one to “self-growth,” a needed orientation the whole world is longing for. There is
something in it for most everyone—teacher, parent, grandparent, caregiver, in fact, all human beings whatever hats they wear. The book flows out of Sherry’s 50 years as a Waldorf Early Childhood Educator and 25 years of involvement with Nonviolent Communication which includes an IIT, Bay NVC Leadership Training, Mediation Training as well as other workshops and trainings. In addition, Sherry served as an assistant
for 8 years at the New York NVC Intensive. She has found Nonviolent Communication to be supportive in her work with children, colleagues, family members, and in her personal life. The content speaks to living in the real life of parenting young children with all the practical tasks that must be done daily—meals, cleaning, laundry, bathing, bedtime, etc.—that cannot be ignored. How to manage and keep one’s balance?
The author shares sensible, practical, generous parenting tips to help families navigate their way. Then once you dive into the book you will find that Sherry has woven into the articles content from her striving to live out of the ideals of NVC consciousness. Sometimes it is subtle and sometimes it is obvious. In either case NVC consciousness has added an important element to the book and to Sherry’s career as a
Waldorf Educator. Indeed, through the years she has discovered there is an amazing resonance between Waldorf Education and the principles of Nonviolent Communication. This delightful book is like a sweet, warming, rich hot chocolate with whipped cream to soothe and delight at the end of the day. Enjoy!
When I Listen People Speak and Come Alive

When we understand the needs that motivate our own and others behavior, we have no enemies. Marshall Rosenberg |

The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes. —Marcel Proust
Living Autonomously Many people consider autonomy, or free choice, to be a need. That is, they believe that we all need it to live happily. I see autonomy more as something we already have, as a way of living. Let’s imagine that a friend of yours
works for someone who wants her to start her workday at seven in the morning. She is often up until late at night with her children so she would rather start at eight-thirty. It might be tempting for her to complain, “I have to be at work at seven.” By expressing the situation in that language, she chooses not to live autonomously—she says she doesn’t have a choice about what time she goes to work. In reality, she could quit her job, look for another job,
or talk to her children about going to bed earlier. Maybe she wants to keep this job because it provides health insurance and meets her need for financial security, or the short commute may meet her need for ease. Whatever her reasons, she chooses to stay in the job. In making that choice, she does not meet some needs, such as for rest. We always have choices in our lives. Sometimes none of them appeal to us, but we still choose. The more we recognize that
autonomy is a way of living, the more joy and empowerment we will feel. Today, notice when you say that you “have” to do something, and acknowledge the needs you meet by choosing to do it |
