Guidelines
For Compassionate Dialogue
The
ETO Conference
strives to promote an inclusive, compassionate dialogue that honors
different personal experiences, perspectives, and narratives, while
allowing for better expressing and listening to each other as we work
together toward understanding and harmony. Our intention is to create
an open venue where we can engage meaningfully and invite in a public
dialogue that brings our joint wisdom to bear in exploring sometimes
difficult issues that effect us all. This is based on the premise that
it does not require that we be the same to be appreciate of, at peace
with, and secure in our relationships with each other; only that we
be familiar enough with each others story to share the humanity and
trustworthiness that resides in each of us.
We ask all participants to assist us by carrying and expressing this
intent throughout the conference.
NonViolent Communication Guidelines: (adapted
from Marshall Rosenberg)
Unique Assumptions—NVC begins by assuming that we are all
compassionate by nature and that violent strategies—whether verbal
or physical—are learned behaviors taught and supported by the prevailing
culture. It also assumes that we all share the same, basic human needs,
and that all actions are a strategy to meet one or more of these needs.
While NVC is much more than a communication model, the components below
provide a structural concept of the process that leads to giving and
receiving from the heart.
Honestly Expressing how I am and what I would like without using
blame, criticism or demands
Empathically Receiving how another is and what he/she would
like without hearing blame, criticism or demands
Whether expressing or receiving, NVC focuses our attention on four
pieces of information:
1) Observations —Objectively describing what is going
on without using evaluation, moralistic judgment, interpretation or
diagnosis
2) Feelings —Saying how you feel (emotions and body sensations)
about what you have observed without assigning blame
3) Needs —The basic human needs that are or not being met
and are the source of feelings
4) Requests —Clear request for actions that can meet needs
