Discover Non-Violent Communication's core principles, showing how we can think, speak and listen with a focus on needs.About this Event
Sunday Platform - 11AM-12:15PM
Notice: To watch online
Compassionate Communication, also known as Nonviolent Communication (NVC), was developed by Dr. Marshall Rosenberg and has evolved over decades into skills and practices that deepen connection and compassion in every relationship, including the one with ourselves. At its heart lies a simple idea: when we identify, understand and connect to the universal human needs and values behind our words and actions, rather than diagnosing and judging, we become far more able to truly see one another and to resolve conflict without violence.
In this talk, Dr. Clara Moisello, Lead Trainer and Co-Director of the New York Center for Nonviolent Communication, will introduce NVC’s core principles, showing how we can think, speak and listen with a focus on needs. When we bring this focus into our daily conversations, even moments of tension can become an opportunity to discover what matters to everyone involved and to find a way forward together.
Community lunch follows, free for first-time guests and participants in our Young Ethical Explorers program.
Afternoon Workshop - 1PM
If our morning Sunday Platform sparked your curiosity, join Clara for this 90-minute afternoon session to experience this work firsthand.
Through guided exercises and open discussion, we’ll practice listening for the needs behind our own reactions and other people’s words, and discover how this can help us stay more grounded in challenging conversations.
No previous experience is needed, only curiosity and a willingness to practice together.
