The opposite of non-violent communications isn't always violence. It can also be silence, passive aggression, or withdrawal from a situation that requires clear, compassionate communications. Sign up for this workshop in NVC to learn more.

The fact that shorter-term questions dominate the agenda is not a sign of weakness in our politics. It merely reflects the focus on the urgent and timely, rather than the long-term and more complex. But we should not minimize the longer term.
