Guidelines
For Compassionate Dialogue
The
TT 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
