Note: In this website, “Giraffe” is sometimes used as a metaphor for Nonviolent Communication and “Jackal” (or “wolf” or “snake”) as a metaphor for life-alienated consciousness and language. Note: CNVC’s use of the image and term “Giraffe” is in no way connected to The Giraffe Project, a completely separate organization producing its own training and educational materials.
