Speaking Peace - An Introduction to Nonviolent Communication:
Nonviolent Communication (NVC) is a way of communicating that strengthens our ability to stay in touch with our humanity and get our needs met, even under difficult circumstances. Instead of habitual responses, our words become conscious responses based on a clear awareness of what we are observing, feeling, and wanting. We are led to express ourselves with honesty and clarity, while paying respectful and empathic attention to others. Check out this brief intro video about NVC: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZN8IZ6MPlNE


ABOUT OUR PRESENTERS
Gail Carroll and Paul Merrill - As a CNVC certified trainer with NVC Boston, Gail was drawn to NVC as a strategy to bring authenticity, clarity and compassion into her professional and personal relationships. She shares NVC with the transformative power of compassion as the foundation of her practice and teaching. Before moving to the Boston area, Paul taught NVC in Boston, New York City, Belgium and Poland. He is a founding board member of Brooklyn NVC. Paul is known for his creativity and humor in teaching NVC. Paul and Gail are both co-trainers for Mediate Your Life, a program for those wishing to use NVC to increase their ability to resolve personal and interpersonal conflicts. They have a private practice in the Boston area, offering private clients/couples NVC empathy and mediation. More about Gail and Paul can be found at nvcboston.org.
