BayNVC is dedicated to transforming lives through teaching conscious communication, also known as Nonviolent Communication. NVC is a powerful process that increases social emotional intelligence and communication skills; using its principles often dramatically improves relationships by helping focus attention on empathic understanding of others, and by expressing our real feelings and values openly and honestly, yet without blame or criticism. BayNVC’s large cadre of trainers work with both individuals and groups--parents, organizational leaders, incarcerated populations, political activists, along with the general public--to leverage social change.
