I love practicing peace-making, as part of a team. I think it works best that way. I had an opportunity to put the four components to the Nonviolent (NVC) Communication model into practice on the Ireland Medicine Stories Retreat 2018, last week. It worked in the heat of some minor conflict.  Thank you for showing me this model Gareth Higgins! The model was developed by Marshal Rosenberg. The 4-part NVC Process can guide you to express how you are, or they can be used to empathically receive how another is.
