We archive articles from our newsletters here. Once a month or so, we send out a newsletter to stay connected with our community. In it, we share ways to help bring Compassionate / Nonviolent Communication (NVC) into daily living. We also include announcements about new classes and offerings. Curious? If you'd like to stay informed about what we're up to, please sign up. Want to see a sample? You can view past newsletters here.


EarthCare: Doable Actions for a Healthier Planet

What does Compassionate/Nonviolent Communication (or NVC) have to do with the health of our planet? NVC cultivates life-serving awareness of needs like health, safety, peace, vitality, fairness, balance, and compassion; and seeks to meet these needs through peaceful and doable actions. Please visit our EarthCare page for doable tips; even small actions make a difference!


Season of Nonviolence

The annual Season of Nonviolence (Jan 30 - Apr 4) bookends the memorial anniversaries of Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr., two inspiring leaders who utilized nonviolent methods to successfully lead movements for change. Please follow our SNV page for annual events and original resources.
