NONVIOLENT COMMUNICATION (NVC)Nonviolent Communication (also called compassionate communication), as developed by Marshall B. Rosenberg, PhD, is a process which can help people connect compassionately and recognize observations, feelings and needs in themselves and others, and to make requests, with a goal of peaceful resolution of conflicts at a personal and public level, striving to meet the needs of all. In the past few years UUCE has sponsored several NVC workshops and practice groups, as noted below. There are not any current NVC practice groups meeting at UUCE. We do hope to have additional NVC practice groups in the future, and will make information about the groups available when details are known. Further information about NVC is available from the Center for Nonviolent Communication (www.cnvc.org), and from the Oregon Network for Compassionate Communication (www.orncc.net).

A NVC workshop was presented at UUCE on November 10 and 11, 2006 by Alan Seid, a certified NVC trainer from the Bellingham, Washington area. Approximately 120 people attended the evening introductory session on November 10, and 89 attended the all day session on November 11.
