Welcome, Oakland Movement Makers!

We practice a system of communicating compassionately developed by Dr. Marshall Rosenburg. NonViolent Communication (NVC) is a language that helps us to connect with one another on a heart level through listening for the feelings and underlying needs of others. Continued practice of this system effectively changes our world view and gives us tools to work with conflict and diffuse tension. At the core of NVC is the assumption that everyone's needs can be met in any given situation.
We are not official NVC trainers or facilitators. We are a group of friends who like NVC. This means there is a greater potential for outside creativity and less security in the emotionally difficult things that will come up. NVC is not about being "nice". Its about being true to our experience and feelings. Through authenticity we open the space for resolution and healing.
Are you feeling discouraged and needing support in your growth? Come check us out.
This group exists outside of Meetup. I created this Meetup account to attract others who are interested to come try it out.
