Question:
Every month I meet as a member of a gathering of two Catholic communities, one progressive and one conservative, who come together on a Sunday to discuss important social issues. We call this “Justice Sunday.” The issues discussed in the past include the Death Penalty, the Palestine-Israel conflict, Immigration, and aspects of US foreign policy. In a future meeting we would like to explore the topic of nonviolent communication. We sense the benefit this could provide us. What suggestions can you provide?
Answer:
Metta Center doesn’t specialize in nonviolent communication, but there are some resources we can point you to. Marshall Rosenberg’s Nonviolent Communication is the most well known, including his book and website. I would also recommend looking into the resources put out by our partner Pace e Bene, who teach a technique of communication that they call CARA: Center, Articulate, Receive, and Agree, the details of which can be found on their website and in their Engage book, which is an excellent resource for nonviolent transformation.

We provide educational resources on the safe and effective use of nonviolence, with the recognition that it’s not about putting the right person in power but awakening the right kind of power in people. We advance a higher image of humankind while empowering people to explore the question: How does nonviolence work, and how can I actively contribute to a happier, more peaceful society?
