    Practicing Nonviolence through Communication

    logo_nvcarizonaClarkdale AZ (January 20, 2016) – Of all the advanced communication modalities available, Marshall Rosenberg’s model of NVC is still in the lead after 50 years of development. 

    Many of us are hungry for skills that can improve the quality of our relationships, deepen our sense of personal empowerment or simply help us communicate more effectively.  Unfortunately, most societies teach us to compete, judge, demand, and diagnose; to think and communicate in terms of what is “right” and “wrong.” We have a habit of communicating in ways that often create misunderstanding or frustration.  Even people with the best of intentions generate needless conflict.

    20160120_nvcNVC provides an easy-to-grasp method to get to the root of challenging situations.  By examining the unmet needs behind what we do and say, NVC helps reduce hostility, heal pain, and strengthen professional and personal relationships.  NVC is now being taught in corporations, classrooms, prisons, and mediation centers worldwide. 

    The late Marshall Rosenberg, founder of Nonviolent Communication (also known as NVC or Compassionate Communication), grew up in a turbulent neighborhood of Detroit in the 1940s. He developed a new way of communicating that provided a peaceful alternative to the violence he encountered.

    Through the lens of Marshall Rosenberg’s work, we recognize that all of our actions are based on human needs that we are seeking to meet. NVC helps us reach beneath the surface and discover what is alive and vital within us.  In our Yavapai Community Education classes, we develop a vocabulary of feelings and needs to express ourselves more clearly at any given moment.  When we understand and acknowledge our needs, we develop a shared foundation for more satisfying relationships. NVC is one of the most useful processes you will ever learn.

    Upcoming classes offered through Yavapai Community Education department are “Transformational Empathy” February 2 -23 at the Clarkdale campus and “Navigating Conflict Using Mediation Model” March 15 – April 19 at the Sedona campus.  

    Rachel Garmon and Doris Ehrler have a combined 15 years of ongoing study with CNVC certified trainers. Their training includes mediation, neuroscience, attachment styles, parenting, empathy, self-empathy, positive psychology, Focusing, and Restorative Circles.  Rachel and Doris facilitate practice groups, classes and customized workshops in Northern Arizona.

    Analyzing City’s Legal Right to
    Ban OHVs on Public Roads

    By Tommy Acosta
    Mea Culpa! Mea Culpa! Mea Maxima Culpa! I screwed up. Blew it. Totally made a fool of myself. Missed the boat. I am talking about my editorial on the OHV fight, No Legal Traction on OHVs. I assumed that it was ADOT that would make a decision on whether the city could legally ban off road vehicles from our public roads like S.R. 89A and S.R. 179. Man was I off. ADOT has nothing to do with allowing or disallowing the city to do so. ADOT’s response to me when I asked them to clarify their position, was curt and to the point. “ADOT designs, builds and maintains the state highway system,” I was told. “It is not our place to offer an opinion on how state law might apply in this matter.” It was a totally “duh” moment for me when I realized that that the decision or judgement on the OHV ordinance, would involve the state and not ADOT. Chagrinned I stand. The crux of the matter then is whether the city can effectively use a number of standing state laws that can be interpreted to determine whether the city can legally ban the vehicles or not.
