About Power of Compassion
“Peace cannot be built on the foundations of fear.”
Our Vision
We envision a peaceful world where everyone is able to meet their needs through loving, interdependent relationships with other humans and all other living systems.
Our Mission
The Board members, community facilitators, and volunteers work together to educate, inspire, and empower individuals and communities through the transformative self-awareness and dialogue practices of Nonviolent Communication. We sponsor workshops, offer trainings, and support practice groups that improve everyone’s leadership skills of self-trust, listening to understand, vulnerable truth-telling, and collaborative problem-solving.
Nonviolent Communication is a way of living that aims to connect people across differences. It uses a needs-based language, movement, emotions and strategies to bring us to a place of peace within ourselves and with one another. It is based on the work of Marshall Rosenberg, Ph.D. and countless trainers certified through the Center for Nonviolent Communication. It embraces the principles of nonviolence embodied and advocated by Betty Williams, Henry David Thoreau, Martin Luther King Jr., Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, Leo Tolstoy, Dalai Lama, Rigoberta Menchu Tum, Mother Teresa and many more leaders.
