"Marshall Rosenberg provides us with the most effective tools to foster 
health and relationships. Nonviolent Communication connects soul to soul, 
creating a lot of healing. It is the missing element in what we do."
- Deepak Chopra, author, How to Know God and Ageless Body and Timeless 
Mind 
 
"Nonviolent Communication is a powerful tool for peace and partnership. It 
shows us how to listen empathically and also communicate our authentic 
feelings and needs. Marshall Rosenberg has a genius for developing and 
teaching practical skills urgently needed for a less violent, more caring 
world."   - Riane Eisler, author, The Chalice and the Blade, Tomorrow's 
Children and The Power of Partnership
 
 
WHAT IS NONVIOLENT COMMUNICATION? 
Both a concrete road map of communication skills and a spiritual practice,

peace.

* initiate difficult conversations with more ease & confidence
* remain centered & peaceful while hearing difficult messages
* express anger fully, safely and respectfully - yet powerfully
* shift patterns of thinking that lead to depression, guilt, shame
* enliven yourself by expressing and receiving gratitude
* translate criticism, judgments and blame into life-serving messages
* resolve long-standing conflicts and heal painful relationships
* inspire others to change their behavior willingly
