Gratitude & Celebration

“Gratitude and celebration are the underlying energy of what we do.”

This is one of the guiding principles of the Compassionate Communication Center of Ohio.

We are grateful for the work of Marshall Rosenberg, which underlies all that we offer. Compassionate Communication creates a path forward through conflict towards the needs of all being heard, respected and satisfied. 

We are grateful for our trainers who bring this work to communities, groups, and individuals. Through their trainings and practice groups, they help grow the presence of empathy in the world.

We are grateful for the people who connect with us, as attendees, community members, donors and volunteers. We are grateful for those who reach out for support as well as those who, in return, support us through sharing our offerings and through donations.

On this July 4th, we celebrate you and everyone else engaged in practices of empathy, vulnerability and seeking a wider perspective.

 

🎉 COMMUNITY GATHERING 🎉

CCCO has its roots in nurturing community around the teachings and practice of NVC. It’s been a while since CCCO has met as a community face-to-face. We’re excited to be planning a Fall Community Gathering in Columbus, OH.
