Voices of Compassion: Heart Practices of NVC

Help Us Amplify Global Voices in Nonviolent Communication— A Project That Centers Global Voices and Concrete Social Change

After co-authoring The Heart of Nonviolent Communication (Stephanie Bachmann Mattei & Kristin Collier) and hearing from countless readers worldwide about how deeply meaningful the life stories were, a powerful vision emerged: a groundbreaking new book on the 12 core processes of NVC, written directly by​ CNVC certified trainers from the Global Majority.

This project is more than just a book—it’s a movement to uplift voices too often unheard in mainstream NVC literature. It aims to deepen the understanding of Nonviolent Communication into true, lived transformation by sharing authentic experiences from diverse communities globally.

By supporting this fundraiser, you’re helping create a platform where these vital perspectives can flourish, enriching the practice of NVC for everyone.

Join us in amplifying these essential voices and building a more inclusive, compassionate world.
