Nonviolent communications?

[trinsf]

My friend teamnoir has posted to LJ asking for feedback about the nonviolent communication training programs out there. I have this memory of someone on my Flist posting about NVC, but I can't remember more. If someone reading this has experience with NVC, could they comment to his post or this one? Thanks!

Look for information on AVP (Alternatives to Violence Project), a program which started as an offshoot of QPCC (Quaker Projects on Commnunity Conflict) and the Friends programs that were developed to train non-violent marshals for anti-war demonstrations in the late '60s and early '70s. QPCC was originally based in NYC, but has spread across the country.

Also AVP California.

I'll also post on his other with this info.

ask lobolance.

also can ask dawnd or akienm, they say they're trained in it and can do coaching on this for folks.

I've taken a few training classes, and read some of the major books on the subject. http://www.cnvc.org/ has some good, free resources to draw on. If you want to talk to me privately about it, I'm on yahoo as jdmacguffin, AIM as MacGuffin42, or you could email me at jason.klueber@FUCKSPAMMERSgmail.com. :-)

Well, it's not for me, it's for teamnoir, so probably it would be more helpful for me to have him contact you. I'll see that he sees the info.
