“NVC requires us to be continually conscious of the beauty within ourselves and other people.”

“The spirituality that we need to develop for social change is one that mobilizes us for social change.”

“Our survival as a species depends on our ability to recognize that our well-being and the well-being of others are in fact one and the same.”

“I believe that the most joyful and intrinsic motivation human beings have for taking any action is the desire to meet our needs and the needs of others.”

“My need is for safety, fun and to have distribution of resources, a sustainable life on the planet. NVC is a strategy that serves me to meet these needs.”

“Is there anything more fun than contributing to others’ well being?”
-Marshall Rosenberg

Spending time with family members over the holidays—the season of “good will to all”—often can be challenging.

Family gatherings may reveal a widening canyon of personal, political, and cultural differences; table conversations can halt in tense silence or devolve into explosive argument. Instead of gritting your teeth to get through the meal, here are six tips for more mindful conversations during the holiday season.

The holidays can be one of the most stressful times of year. Family gatherings, busy schedules, entertaining, and the bustle and pressure of expectations around gift giving. In this training excerpt, world-renowned peacemaker and author, Marshall Rosenberg, gives frank advice to keep our compassion alive by shifting our thinking.

We have more social engagements (all those holiday parties and events), and preparations for the holidays—shopping, cooking, and decorating. And those we’re often hanging out with can sometimes be the most challenging people in our lives, be they immediate family members or in-laws, or the boss at the holiday party.

The holidays can be easier and actually fun, even in challenging situations. Here are a few bonus tips based on NVC and coaching practices.....

Are you wondering how your next family gathering will turn out? Is it tough to relate to some of your family members? Do you sometimes leave feeling drained and wondering why you went at all?

It can be different this year. Imagine walking into your next family get-together feeling excited about being there and knowing that you will leave feeling happy about the whole experience.

It's your choice. Here are five tips for making your next family gathering the experience you've always wanted. ...

Many of us are motivated to create a holiday season that is memorable and heartwarming. This quickly becomes a list of gifts to buy, treats to make, events to attend... but under all those starred “important items” there is one thing you may not find... and it’s deeper contact with YOU.

Most of the self-care we see advertised is about indulging ourselves. While a bubble bath, glass of wine and scented candle may get us started, they usually don’t fulfill our deeper needs. Nonviolent Communication (NVC) makes the bold assertion that the most deeply satisfying activity is to respond to real needs—our own or those of others. But to respond to a need effectively, you have to have some clue as to what it is...

For many, the holidays are less a time of joy and excitement than a season marked by provocation and disappointed. If you are on Instagram, Facebook, and other social media sites, it can look like everyone is having a wonderful time out there except for you. Even though we all know that what people typically post online is a highly selective slice of life, it can still create longing for the happy holidays that many of us never really had.

Mix all that with today’s political climate, the societal pressure to overspend, and the stress and aggravation of travel, and being with family during the holidays can often be the scene of conflict rather than contentment. Apart from dealing with all of the difficult people that every family seems to include, the aspect of getting together with family that can be the most troublesome is falling back into the familiar roles we have played with each other since childhood...

Celebrate Your Progress!
Do you ever find yourself feeling overwhelmed with all that you want to do, rather than celebrating what you’ve already done? I started jogging recently. The first day I jogged for two minutes and walked for four minutes, and then repeated this cycle four times. To keep my heart rate at a safe level, I had to jog at a slower pace than I walked! Within three days, I was jogging faster than I walked. I could see quantifiable change in only three days. Wouldn’t it be great if we could see our progress this easily when we’re trying to shift our consciousness or change a behavior we have exhibited since we were five years old? Here is my suggestion. Take a moment to ponder what you are working to change. Notice whether it’s a behavior or a consciousness. Consider where you were with this issue when you first decided to create change....
