Compassionate Communication is both a technique and a consciousness also known as Nonviolent Communication. The goal of this communication is to create heart to heart connection in all of our human encounters, in families, at work, in social change, schools and every avenue of human existence. The teaching of Nonviolent Communication began with Marshall Rosenberg in the 1960’s, was foundational in desegregating schools in the U.S., and continues to be taught around the world. At it’s heart it engages our spiritual selves fully as we seek to grow personally, in our honest expression of ourselves, and in empathic listening. For more information, contact Rev. Leslie Ritter-Jenkins@
