Nonviolent Communication Expert Gives Talk at MUM
Jeff Brown, a certified nonviolent communication trainer, recently came to speak at the MIU Sustainable Living center about communicating more harmoniously through the concept of NVC. Communication techniques such as NVC fit into our model of sustainability, which we call Deep Sustainability, because we believe that true, world-changing sustainability must begin within. This involves approaching one another from a compassion-based/heart-based level. You can view an introduction to Deep Sustainability concepts from some of our faculty members here.
Jeff became a Certified Trainer with the Center for Nonviolent Communication in March 2005, and has been studying and practicing NVC as a personal practice since 1999. Here’s a little about Jeff from the Center for Nonviolent Communication website:
“I earned a masters degree in Spiritual Psychology from the University of Santa Monica in Los Angeles, CA in 2007. The work in my graduate program complemented my NVC and my ability to share NVC in an authentic, vibrant way greatly increased as a result of me doing this program.
I offer trainings, counseling and conflict resolution services to individuals, organizations and public groups throughout the U.S. and beyond. I have facilitated trainings for nonprofit organizations, social service agencies, schools, businesses and churches in 16 U.S. states and 4 countries.
In 2007 and 2008, I spent a total of 13 weeks in Asia (South Korea and Japan) sharing NVC, having been invited by the Korean Center for NVC.
On a personal note, I am active in the Mankind Project, an international men’s organization that is a great source of support to me in remaining on purpose and carrying out my mission.
