    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.

    The Sad Lesson of Tyre Nichols
    By Tommy Acosta
    Having grown up in the mean streets of the Bronx there is one lesson we learn early on, and that’s don’t mess with the cops when they got you down, and outnumbered. The beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the police preceding his death at the hospital could have been avoided if only he had the sense to not resist them. People fail to understand that on the streets, cops are basically “God.” You can’t fight them. If it takes one, two, five, ten or twenty officers they will eventually put you down and hurt you if they have to in the process of detaining or arresting you. In the Bronx we would fight amongst ourselves but when the cops came it was “Yes, officer. No, officer,” and do our best to look as innocent as possible. People need to understand that cops on the street represent the full power of the state and government. Read more→
