Thrive Virtual Conference Bio:

(Bio that will be used only for this event)

Several presenters have mentioned nonviolent communication (the name doesn't do it justice). I've been "practicing" NVC it for decades. still learning something new every day, and happy to answer questions. In the PNW we have many people working on NVC for BDSM. Please write me using the email above.  

The method / tools are described at cnvc.org :) 

The original book is by Marshall Rosenberg. He kept revising it until his death. Latest revision appears to have been done by Deepak Chopra:
Nonviolent Communication A Language of Life Life Changing Tools for Healthy Relationships: Marshall B Rosenberg, Deepak Chopra: Trade Paperback: 9781892005281: Powell's Books

Lucy Leu's WORKBOOK is designed to help YOU organize a co-led "practice group" - draws on Leu's experience leading these groups in prisons and is intelligent about power issues that come up in group learning. Leu's book changed the world for me and I've done the group many times. 
Nonviolent Communication Companion Workbook A Practical Guide for Individual Group or Classroom Study: Lucy Leu: Trade Paperback: 9781892005298: Powell's Books

One of my most profound teachers (which does not mean we always have to agree) has been Miki Kashtan. You can read about her work here:
The Fearless Heart | Inspiration and tools for creating the future we want. Courage to live it now.
