Occupy Compassionate Communication Worldwide
Since the beginning of Occupy people connected with it worldwide have wrestled with the fact that what we consider 'normal' language is actually quite indoctrinated and infiltrated with 'power-over ' language.
NVC, this way of Compassionate Communication, is one way of raising self awareness, the inevitable first step to learning to change patterns by free will, and to get introduced to a fresh choice of words to differentiate and name our feelings and needs - and watch out that we do not confuse them with thoughts! And, by and by, we then also learn to recognize the same needs in others, and are becoming capable of making requests which can open new doors to new worlds of power with, rather than of power over.
How else can we have both peace and victory together unless we learn to compassionately listen and express ourselves?
It is a long road, that changing of the power-over culture we have been shaped by, but many have made and are making the first step....
This page and it's links would like to link us with what is going on around us the world of Occupy where people endeavour to change the culture of power over right at the roots: working at ourselves and with each other to learn and to establish Compassionate Communication.
