Wrap up! Inner Transition: Non-Violent Communication
Wrap up from our online Inner Transition workshop collated by Jade Peace. Photo by Priscilla Du Preez on Unsplash.
Well, we had our first event via Zoom! I for one was pleasantly surprised, I had been feeling rather anxious about how such an event, focused on expressing feelings and needs, would work over the internet. However I came away with my needs for connection, purpose and community filled up! Thank you to all the participants for taking part and sharing.
NCV in a nutshell, is building a meaningful connection that leads to us giving willingly to each other! – if this intrigues you please read on and follow the links.
Below are some of the resources we looked at during the workshop (plus a few extras we didn’t have time for) so you can begin to explore the wonderful world of NVC in your own time.
Videos
This is a 3 hour video from a workshop by Marshall Rosenberg (the founder of NVC) – it’s long but I found it very engaging, funny and full of wonderful learnings. A great overarching introduction to NVC.
Youtube video showing section of the film Beyond Belief. A 3m interview with Marshall Rosenberg about his work in zones of conflict
Youtube video that shows you How to solve Conflict by Cup of empathy
You tube video 3 min with Yoram Mozensen, about using NVC for an environmental issue
Resources
Here are links to the feelings and needs inventories from The Centre for Nonviolent Communication website. A valuable resource for your NVC journey.
Books
Kit shared a lovely reading from this book during our workshop; Living nonviolent communication: practical tools to connect and communicate skillfully in every situation by Marshall Rosenberg, From Sounds True, Boulder Colerado. 2012.
“The Ongo Book” is a guide through 12 weeks of NVC practice. There is also a website full of useful resources and discussions, you can register for free.
There are plenty more videos, books and resources online, so go exploring and see what you find 
In fact Kit and I would love to check in for a regular little NVC practice, would any of you be interested in joining us?
Have a wonderful day everyone.
Warmest,
Jade
