 | Catherine CaddenAnother amazing moment for me with Marshall was after my dear mentor Julie Greene died. I had the extreme fortune to work with Julie during her last BayNVC retreat before her passing. Many who were there might remember the energy of "why wait one more minute?", and her becoming very clear on her final requests of people. When I was hugging her goodbye, which we both knew would be for the last time, she said she had a couple requests for me. One of them was spoken to me this way, "Will you tell Marshall that I love him? You will see him before I do. I want you to deliver the message to him because I think you live from your heart. I think he still sometimes gets in his head too much so I want you tell him from your heart. You can tell him I said that, too." The next time I caught up with Marshall was at a BayNVC event in Oakland. I went to deliver the message. I caught Marshall before things began. The room was full of people busy chatting with one another. Marshall and someone had just finished speaking about something and I walked up to him and said, "I have a message for you from Julie Greene." Marshall turned, looked me in the eye, giving me his full attention. I shared Julie's message that way she had told it to me. He smiled with tears in his eyes giving his little chuckle and wag of the head. We hugged and someone came up to support him getting to the stage on time. One of the great teachings I have received from Marshall is one of the things I find awe inspiring about him - his ability to be fully present in the midst of chaos and turn towards what's most alive in the space. Thank you, Julie, for the honor to walk with you, learn from you, and deliver your message of love. Thank you, Marshall, for teaching me how to receive love. |
 | Selene AitkenI remember the time in 1996 when I heard Marshall say he believed everyone's needs could be met. Everyone on the planet! I was stunned. I believed him. I still do. That’s why NVC gives me hope. |

 | Susanne KraftIt was on an IIT in Orchidea Lodge. Marshall was teaching 4 two-hour lessons every day. During lunch break we had taken naps or a walk to recover. When coming back for the afternoon session, we found Marshall saying goodbye to a young man. The way the two of them looked at each other an tenderly hugged made us guess: might he be one of his sons? They looked so close and familiar with each other. After the young man left, we learned: this was an autistic young man from an institution nearby, which whom Marshall had met during his lunch break and whom he had seen for the first time. This left me deeply touched and I understood something about the power of empathy. Greetings from Susanne Kraft |
What others do may be a stimulus of our feelings, but not the cause.
I think the course is amazing, I'm a long-time student of NVC and keep learning new things as I go back and review "beginner" information so I knew this course would be worthwhile. It has definitely been that, and more!
This course is easy to navigate and instructions are clear and concise. The course outline and check list were very helpful in providing ease of navigation, an overall view of the course and a quick review of what categories I had completed. The material is well organized and provides a nice variety of audio, visual and printed material. I also enjoyed hearing from a variety of teachers. I appreciate the self-assessment intervals and journaling (even though I didn't want to do them at first). It's so helpful to see what I've learned or how my perspective has changed as I go through the course.
So far this course has met my need for ease, predictability, understanding, growth and support. I'm very grateful to you all for all the time, work, thought and dedication that was involved in creating and maintaining this course.
Dr. Marshall B. Rosenberg, PhD (1934-2015) founded the Center for Nonviolent Communication (CNVC) in the early 60s and taught NVC in the United States and 60+ countries around the world for more than four decades. His vision was to create a world where individuals, groups and organizations can collaborate peacefully to enable social change through compassionate, nonviolent communication. We're fortunate that some interviews have been recorded over the years and posted to YouTube for all of us to benefit from. We've assembled a playlist of YouTube videos featuring interviews with Dr. Rosenberg. Enjoy!
I would like us to create peace at three levels and have each of us to know how to do it. First, within ourselves. That is to know how we can be peaceful with ourselves when we're less than perfect, for example. How we can learn from our limitations without blaming and punishing our self. If we can't do that, I'm not too optimistic how we're going to relate peacefully out in the world. Second, between people. Nonviolent Communication training shows people how to create peace within themselves and at the same time how to create connections with other people that allows compassionate giving to take place naturally. And third, in our social systems. To look out at the structures that we've created, the governmental structures and other structures, and to look at whether they support peaceful connections between us and if not, to transform those structures.

If I'm using Nonviolent Communication I never, never, never hear what somebody thinks about me. Never hear what somebody thinks about you, you'll live longer. You'll enjoy life more. Hear the truth. The truth is that when somebody's telling you what's wrong with you, the truth is they have a need that isn't getting met. Hear that they're in pain. Don't hear the analysis.

Marshall B. Rosenberg, PhD (1934 - 2015) was the creator of Nonviolent Communication (also known as Compassionate Communication or NVC) training and founder of the Center for Nonviolent Communication. He was best known for his work in conflict resolution. Another major component of his work was in education reform, helping schools and teachers create more “life-enriching” environments through learning and teaching Compassionate Communication.
Rosenberg founded the Center for Nonviolent Communication (CNVC) in the early 1960s and taught NVC in the United States and 60+ countries around the world for more than four decades. Read expressions of appreciation from several CNVC Certified Trainers. Dr. Rosenberg passed peacefully at home, with his wife Valentina and all his children by his side on February 7th, 2015.
The NVC Academy was founded in 2006, in cooperation with the Center for Nonviolent Communication, to support Marshall’s mission and promote NVC training worldwide.

Affiliation with the NVC Academy: NVC Academy employs CNVC Certified Trainers of NVC and shares marketing and organizational resources with CNVC to support the spread of NVC training worldwide.
Marshall's vision was to create a world where individuals, groups and organizations can collaborate peacefully to enable social change through compassionate, nonviolent communication.
He created Nonviolent Communication based on his experiences with teaching mediation and communication skills while working with civil rights activists in the 60s. His mission then was to help desegregate schools and other public institutions. He worked with educators, mental health professionals, public servants, prison officials and inmates, public figures, military and police officers.
Marshall served hundreds of organizations, groups, businesses, non-profits, governments, individuals and educational institutions over the years, offering Nonviolent Communication training to promote reconciliation and peaceful resolution of differences. The Center for Nonviolent Communication continues to promote and support NVC training throughout the world. Dr. Rosenberg has provided Nonviolent Communication training in 60 countries including countries involved in violent struggles such as Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Croatia and Israel.
Rosenberg said there are only two questions we ever need to know the answer to:
Nonviolent Communication is a structured process that is based on discovering and empathizing with one another’s feelings, needs and requests. Once we understand another’s needs, we know what is alive in them. Needs are universal which means every human has the same needs, although some may be more important at certain times than others. Understanding needs helps us understand each other because these universal needs drive all human behavior.
Needs are the energy of life – the fundamental motivation for all behaviors.
Behind every action, there is a hunger to meet needs.
—Marshall B. Rosenberg, PhD

"Human beings have enormous power to enrich life. We can use words to contribute to people’s enjoyment, their wisdom. We can use words that can make life miserable for people. So our words are very powerful. We can touch people in ways that give great pleasure, great nurturing, support. We are powerhouses, and there’s nothing we enjoy doing more than to use that power we have to enrich lives.” — Marshall Rosenberg, PhD and creator of NVC
