- Compassionate Connection - Chapel Hill NVC Practice Group onlineLink visible for attendees
Compassionate Connection is an experienced-based, body-centered exploration of the principles of Nonviolent Communication (NVC) that meets monthly. Now and for the foreseeable future, we meet online via Zoom.
We practice NVC techniques together that support our capacity to hear and speak authentic truth consistently, reliably, with clarity, with heart. We explore connecting with ourselves and others with ease, acceptance, warm curiosity, and compassion.
Our focus is Mutuality and Presence, inviting participants to be fully present to all that is arising and to engage in giving, receiving, and witnessing empathy as we support each other using NVC principles.
What we observe and experience together can be applied immediately to connect with compassion in all situations, enabling us to be of more service to more people in more ways, helping us "be the change we wish to see in the world." (M.K. Gandhi)
If you are unfamiliar with NVC, we ask that you view these introductory videos ahead of time:
- Marshall Rosenberg Basics 1.1 (9:00 min)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-129JLTjkQ - Marshall Rosenberg Basics 1.2 (9:10 min)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ML2h70RIIFk - NVC Animated Summary (5:22 min)

Gathering Guidelines
- We gather to learn, share, and practice the principles of NVC.
- We agree to use NVC languaging when speaking in the gathering; i.e., "giraffe" language.
- If we feel "jackal" languaging is required to communicate something specific, we agree to speak using "I" statements only.
- We agree to speak and act with respect and compassion toward other participants and toward ourselves.
We hope you can join us to share a time of Mutuality and Presence through deep listening, community support, and compassionate connection.
Nonviolent Communication (NVC) is based on the work of Marshall B. Rosenberg and the Center for Nonviolent Communication (www.cnvc.org).
"Every bit of compassionate connection gets spread. And whoever it's spread to, spreads it to others. I'm sure if enough of it gets spread, we're going to have a world someday where there's no starvation, and we get our needs met without any violence, psychological or otherwise." ~ Marshall Rosenberg
