Nonviolent Communication gives you tools to:

· Connect with empathy to your own and others feelings and needs.

· Express your values, feelings, needs and requests in honest ways that inspire compassionate responses and cooperation.

· Deepen intimate relationships and create solutions based on safety, mutual respect and consensus.

· Learn to hear what others say with an opening to what is most alive in you and them in order to facilitate conflict resolution.

· Express gratitude and celebration in nonviolent communication.
