Vision/Mission/Aim

Nonviolent Communication (NVC)helps us stay connected with what is alive in ourselves and others moment-to-moment, and enhances our ability to make life more wonderful for ourselves and others.

Vision: The Center for Nonviolent Communication (CNVC) pursues the vision of a world in which:

-  everyone values everyone’s basic human needs and lives from a consciousness that connects with the divine life energy and natural oneness of all life

-  where people joyfully and compassionately contribute to each other and resolve conflicts peacefully

-  where the systems and structures we create in economics, education, justice, healthcare, peace-keeping and other areas across our global interdependent community reflect that consciousness and evaluate their actions against their contribution to life and the human needs they ultimately serve.

Mission: Our mission is to contribute to making that vision a reality by:

- living and teaching Non-Violent Communication (NVC)

- engaging in social change efforts

- providing mediation, consulting and other services

- creating, helping others create and make available materials that support all of the above

- creating and enabling communities, connection and collaboration among those who share our vision

- supporting and enabling other individuals and organizations to do all of the above.
