We are a non-profit organization working to help people to be empowered with compassion and the skills to create it through the promotion of workshops and literature based on Nonviolent Communication, as developed by Marshall Rosenberg, Ph.D.

Our goal is to be a hub that connects people around B.C. who are wanting to participate in compassionate communication workshops with the opportunities to do so. We also help to promote community practice groups, as well as connect facilitators with one another for the purpose of both shared support and mentoring.
