Nonviolent Communication (NVC) is a communication method that helps us stay connected to compassion while enabling us to speak and act in alignment with our desire to hold others with care and contribute to their well-being. Established in the 1960s, NVC is now practiced globally.
The NVC process involves a four-step method created by Marshall Rosenberg, the founder and director of educational services for the Center for Nonviolent Communication (CNVC), an international peacemaking organization. Rosenberg, the 2006 recipient of the Global Village Foundation’s Bridge of Peace Award, dedicated his life to helping others resolve conflicts. He authored the book Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life and studied under Carl Rogers, often referencing the works of Walter Wink and Riane Eisler in his teachings.
