About the Course

The way we communicate to ourselves and to each other creates our everyday-life world. This module is based on Nonviolent Communication (NVC), founded by Dr. Marshall Rosenberg, who argued that we, human, have been raised to disconnect from ourselves and other using such words as "I am not good enough; I have no choice, but to follow what mom/boss want; You are needy and selfish!!" These are life-alienating communication.

In this module, we will learn how to to reconnect to ourselves and each other by new mode of communication called "life-enriching communication." Based on the fundamental principle that all human actions are aiming to meet needs, we will learn some skills of self empathy and empathy other by tracking some clues from our feelings toward needs, to find out the more truthful and effective communicate, yet still caring for each other, and reach out more harmonious relationship.

All these new kinds of communication means for various contexts and levels, from inner, interpersonal, to group and organizational, inter-group/religious/ethnic, and other global issues & conflict too. With Compassionate Communication, we can create the better world we want, as a book of Marshall Rosenberg entitled "Speak Peace in A World of Conflict" (2005) with subtitle as "What You Say Next Will Change Your World."

Learning Outcomes:

1. Develop skills of reconnecting to your own Life Source in communication with yourself or other, in many contexts of your life.

2. Learn how to speak the truth, yet still caring about relationship.

3. Make your and other lives more wonderful.
