Non-violence

Here at LifeTrek Coaching, a passion of ours is passing along the teachings of non-violence, particularly non-violent communication. Since 2006, we've been inspired by the works of Marshall Rosenberg of The Center for Non-Violent Communication. According to Rosenberg, non-violent communication:

"helps connect us with what is alive in ourselves and in others moment-to-moment, with what we or others could do to make life more wonderful, and with an awareness of what gets in the way of natural giving and receiving."

We have begun incorporating the teachings of non-violent communication into our work as coaches and hope to inspire you to begin communicating in a non-violent manner.

The April issue of Ode Magazine helped bring the concept of non-violence to the 21st century in an article titled, "Give Non-violence a Chance." In this article, Mark Kurlansky examines the power of non-violence through an historical context. Kurlansky concludes the article by asking the reader:

"But what if we lived in a world that had no word for war other than non-peace? It would not necessarily be a world without war, but it would be a world that regarded war as an aberrant and insignificant activity. What kind of world would that be?"
