Since returning to Pittsburgh I taught at the University of Pittsburgh’s Osher program, and conducted workshops in many libraries and in other venues using my organizing mindfully book.
I conducted nonviolent communication (NVC) workshops in Pittsburgh at the former Shambhala Center in East Liberty, and at a local library.
While living in southern California I worked as a police trainer teaching 11 Ventura County law enforcement agencies and dispatch about NVC and nonviolent crisis intervention. I also conducted NVC workshops with: various community groups, consumers of mental health services, mental health workers, and at churches.
NVC is based on Dr. Marshall Rosenberg’s work (www.cnvc.org). Rosenberg’s “language of the heart” is a common sense method of bridging gaps during conflicts, and creating mutually beneficial strategies – rather than aggressive defense-oriented tactics.
