PeaceTalk is a ground-breaking communication method based on the work of Marshall B. Rosenberg, Ph.D., and his technique
of Nonviolent Communication (NVC). NVC has been applied successfully with families and couples, in schools and businesses, as well as in some of the most strife-torn areas around the world. With PeaceTalk you can:
Express your feelings, including anger, in a way that can be accepted by others
Translate others criticism, blame, and other hard-to-hear messages into a new, acceptable language
Learn to meet your own needs and the needs of others
Experience a new level of trust and authenticity in relationships
Because creating outer peace depends on our ability to experience inner peace, PeaceTalk also addresses ways to enhance
our relationship with ourselves through meditation, inner dialogue, and other practices.
Is PeaceTalk for you? Whether you are a parent or a child, a spouse or lover, a friend or peer, a supervisor or a
subordinate, an activist, a social worker, a teacher, or a professional, PeaceTalk can offer you effective tools to resolve conflicts and deepen the quality of your relationships. People end up feeling heard,
respected, and cared about.
What PeaceTalk is NOT: Backing down, giving up, avoiding conflict, compromising, smoothing over differences,
meeting others needs instead of our own, being right or righteous, winning, losing, stuffing our feelings, being a doormat.
