Nonviolent Communication (NVC) is best known as a tool to engage with conflict and improve interpersonal relationships. It can also be a powerful pathway to compassion and empathic listening. It fits beautifully with the Quaker peace testimony.

However, it is rarely taught as a practice of liberation from the legacy of patriarchy, capitalism, racism and all other authority-based structures. This workshop will be an introduction to NVC through a systemic lens i.e. how it can be a practical path to dismantle the roots of violence, social inequality and climate change.

Verene Nicolas is a member of Glasgow Quaker Meeting. She is a Certified trainer in Nonviolent Communication and a co-founder of the Nonviolent Global Liberation (NGL) Project.
