Using this style, someone can facilitate a highly co-creative process Jim Rough, creator of the process, calls "choice-creating." It goes beyond consensus building to break through ideas. http://www.tobe.net/topics/facilitation.html Non Violent Communication NVC is a process of communication designed to strengthen the ability to inspire compassion from others and to respond compassionately to others and to ourselves. NVC teaches ways to reframe how we express ourselves and hear others by focusing on what we observe, feel, need, and request. http://www.cnvc.org/nvc.htm Co-Intelligence "Co-intelligence is the capacity to live well WITH each other and life, creatively using diversity and uniqueness, consciously evolving together in partnership with nature, and consciously transforming culture. Co-intelligence is intrinsic to all living systems and can always be improved.

It is on October 24 -- 9 weeks before the end of the year, the equivalent of how much LESS western Europeans work compared to overworked US-Americans! http://www.simpleliving.net/timeday/default.asp Compassionate Listening Compassionate Listening is a practice of deep, open-hearted, spiritual listening, from heart to heart, spirit to spirit, which transforms conflict, even in highly polarized situations. The practice of Compassionate Listening is transformative both to the listener and to the person being heard. I can help organize a delegation to bring this healing listening to your community and introduce the skills needed. http://www.compassionatelistening.org/clp.html Global Citizen Journey is a visionary and action oriented project that brings vital energy, support and resources to communities in need --and provides a rich transformative experience for volunteers. The project has multiple purposes: grassroots citizen diplomacy, peacemaking, leadership building, education, environmental activism and service. A group of U.S. participants joins with local participants for a 2.5 week residential experience, with half the time spent on the work project and the other half in circle to build relationships and develop skills of communication, compassionate listening and conflict resolution as well as cross-cultural and gender relations. Our first journey was wildly successful in November, 2005, when to the ‘creeks’ area in the Delta region of Nigeria where the petroleum industry has gravely impacted the communities and the environment. We partnered with the villagers in Oporoza to build the first library in the entire region. The Niger Delta Friendship Library has proven to be an instrument of peace, bringing tribes together as partners that were in violent conflict in the past.
