What is Radical Compassion?
- Radical Compassion offers tools and practices to help you more fully integrate Nonviolent Communication into your life.
- The purpose of Nonviolent Communication (sm) is to create a quality of connection where everyone's needs are equally valued, and conflicts resolve nonviolently.
- Nonviolent Communication offers practical, learnable skills that transform blame and criticism into understanding and cooperation, through connection to the underlying needs that are driving behavior.
- Using Nonviolent Communication we discern what is actually happening right now, distinguishing observation from opinion.
- Using Nonviolent Communication we understand what emotions are telling us about what really matters, the universal needs and values.
