Compassionate Communication

We are a group committed to learning and practicing Compassionate Communication together. Each meetup will consist of practical exercises focused on a specific topic.

This group focuses mostly on the Nonviolent Communication (NVC) framework developed by psychologist Marshall Rosenberg The NVC framework provides a set of communication tools that enable us to achieve:

- A habit of responding rather than reacting

- Greater levels of connection and mutual understanding

- Clarity when we experience anger, resentment, fear, etc.

- A state of openness, possibility

Other things we could call NVC:

- needs-focused communication

- collaborative communication

- communication for mutual understanding
