Awakening Compassion Home

Compassionate Communication (also called Nonviolent Communication, or NVC) is a simple and profound shift in thinking and speaking habits. Its purpose is to nurture a quality of connection in which we are inspired to work together so all needs get met. By connecting on the level of our universal needs, we awaken our natural compassion and support making life wonderful for each other through joyful giving. NVC helps us to shift away from our deeply ingrained habits of blame, criticism and judgment, to tune into our feelings as clues to what we are needing in the moment, and to make clear requests in a way that will inspire others to want to give to us.

Awakening Compassion was formed by Conal Elliott and Holly Croydon to share NVC through workshops, practice groups, coaching and mediation.
