The quarterly Connection Corner column is changing. Starting with the July issue of the Bodhi Eco-Project newsletter, it will become a 'Dear Abby' type column, where people can write in to ask for advice on particular situations. If you have a situation you'd like help with, please send it in.

Compassionate Communication

Nonviolent Communication, NVC, Marshall Rosenberg, book

Compassion 'n Action provides practical tools, suggestions, and 1- and 2-day trainings in compassionate communication. Compassionate Communication is based on Nonviolent Communication, or NVC, as developed by professional psychologist Marshall Rosenberg, and promoted by the Center for Nonviolent Communication (cnvc.org).

The book Nonviolent Communication - A Language of Life provides an excellent overview of NVC, which Marshall also calls a Language of Life.
