Based on the work of nonviolent communication and resonant healing

Imagine a world where every conversation builds connection, where empathy replaces judgment, and where our words create bridges, not barriers. Rooted in the transformative work of Dr. Marshall Rosenberg, Nonviolent Communication (NVC) is a language of compassion that empowers us to speak and listen from the heart—fostering deeper understanding, authentic relationships, and peaceful resolution in every part of life.
Below you’ll find resources for organizations, individuals and families looking to start the journey of growth through Nonviolent Communication.

Have you ever felt like meaningful deep relationships are out of reach or that you struggle with something painful from your past?
Nonviolent Communication (NVC) can help heal past hurt by creating a safe, compassionate space to explore and express painful emotions without judgment or blame. It helps individuals connect with their unmet needs behind those hurts—like the need for safety, love, or understanding—and gives language to experiences that may have felt overwhelming or confusing. Through empathetic listening, either from others or within oneself, NVC fosters validation, clarity, and emotional release, allowing old wounds to be seen, understood, and gradually transformed. FMRI studies show that new neural connections are made that allow for healing and new understanding when NVC is practiced over time.
Are you looking for a better way to communicate and connect with your family, especially during conflict or stress?
Nonviolent Communication (NVC) brings hope and compassion to your closest relationships by helping you express yourself honestly, listen with empathy, and ensure that everyone’s needs are heard and met. It creates a foundation of trust, eases conflict, and fosters deeper, more loving connections, lighting the path of healing, growth, and mutual fulfillment. NVC is helping couples and families with children foster deep vibrant connections.


Attunement Communication groups combine Marshall Rosenberg’s Nonviolent Communication with Sarah Peyton’s Resonance work to create a space of vulnerability, warmth, and curiosity. In these groups, participants explore honesty, bravery, and presence while engaging with real interpersonal challenges. Backed by research showing that collaborative learning is one of the most effective ways to develop and apply new skills, these practice groups support deep learning through social interaction and peer feedback. Over time, this repeated engagement helps form new neural pathways, creating lasting change. Guided by a skilled facilitator, each group includes 10–12 committed individuals dedicated to growing together in a safe, supportive environment.

I grew up with divorced parents who were as different as night and day. I loved each of them a lot but it was hard to feel happy when they were so unhappy. Part of their unhappiness was the belief by each of them that the other parent was wrong or bad. Because I was like both of them this left me feeling that parts of me were wrong or bad. Whether it was religion, food, hobbies or pets, I didn’t know what I really liked, only what I needed to act like when I was around one of them. As a result, I became a people pleaser and found that the only time I liked myself was when I was trying to make someone else happy. Later in life I chose a career working with people whose lives were chaotic, trying to save them, not realizing that I was avoiding the chaos inside myself. I could pat myself on the back for doing a good job helping others, but I was ignoring myself and the needs I had shelved. Then a friend introduced me to the book, Nonviolent Communication, by Marshall Rosenberg, and something clicked. This is what I had been missing in my hectic lifelong search for answers. I read and re-read the book, made the rash decision to go to India to be trained by certified NVC trainers, and recognized that my unmet needs in life had led me to the gift of becoming a certified trainer to bring the peace and understanding that NVC offers to others. I am a different person with NVC. I wake up with peace and enjoy the experience of being me. I know what I like and what makes me happy. I know how to meet my needs.
NVC teaches that there are no bad needs, only unhelpful strategies to try to meet them. Once I began identifying my needs, I found ways to meet them, making my life and the lives of those around me more fulfilling. The positive impact of NVC in my life has filled me with desire to share it with my community.
