Course in nonviolent communication begins this week

What's the most effective way to interact with others? Most people think and communicate in ways that create distrust and alienation: we compete with others, judge them, diagnose them, and make demands on them.

Nonviolent Communication is a set of skills for creating harmony in relationships, and building a world where everyone's needs are met without the use of violence or coercion.

Beginning on Thursday, January 10, Compassionate Communication of Central Ohio is offering the six-week course "Speaking Peace: What you say next could change your world." The class will meet on Thursdays from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Goodwill Columbus, 1331 Edgehill Rd.

See this page for more information about the course and how to register.

Compassionate Communication of Central Ohio (CCCO) shares the principles and practices of the Center for Nonviolent Communication, developed by psychologist Dr. Marshall Rosenberg and inspired by the teachings of Mahatma Gandhi and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
