Nonviolent Communication is a way of living that aims to connect people across differences. It uses a needs-based language, movement, emotions and strategies to bring us to a place of peace within ourselves and with one another. It is based on the work of Marshall Rosenberg, Ph.D. and countless trainers certified through the Center for Nonviolent Communication. It embraces the principles of nonviolence embodied and advocated by Betty Williams, Henry David Thoreau, Martin Luther King Jr., Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, Leo Tolstoy, Dalai Lama, Rigoberta Menchu Tum, Mother Teresa and many more leaders.
