The Center for Nonviolent Communication is a global organization helping people connect compassionately with themselves and one another through Nonviolent Communication language, created by Marshall B. Rosenberg, Ph.D.

Moralistic judgement and static thinking block human connection and create violence.
All people's actions are to meet needs we all share as human beings.
Expressing our needs is a gift of giving and receiving freely from the heart.
People’s actions are stimulus, never the cause of feelings and actions.
Communicate from internal need and joy to enrich/serve life, rather than for external rewards or to avoid punishment.

Our words have the power to create profound healing, yet our habitual ways of speaking often prevent us from connection with that power.

NVC language strengthens our ability to inspire compassion from others and respond compassionately to others and ourselves. NVC guides us to reframe how we express ourselves, how we hear others and resolve conflicts by focusing our consciousness on what we are observing, feeling, needing, and requesting.

Nonviolent Communication language: It awakens empathy and honesty, and is sometimes described as “the language of the heart.”
