Nonviolent Communication Expert Rosenberg to Talk at Naropa
Weekend workshops will emphasize respect, attentiveness and empathy

BOULDER, Colo. (February 28, 2007)—Marshall B. Rosenberg, PhD, a leading proponent of nonviolent communication, will speak to an audience at Naropa University on Friday, March 9. The talk will kick off a full weekend of work with Rosenberg in which participants will learn Rosenberg’s philosophy, including how to make careful observations free of evaluation, and to specify behaviors and conditions that are affecting communication.

Rosenberg is the founder and director of educational services for the Center for Nonviolent Communication, an international peacemaking and training organization. He is the author of Speak Peace in a World of Conflict, and the bestselling Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life. Dr. Rosenberg is the 2006 recipient of the Global Village Foundation's Bridge of Peace Award, and the Association of Unity Churches International 2006 Light of God Expressing Award.
