NJ NVC

Eliane Geren

Eliane finds great fulfillment in helping people discover tools which they can use to live a richer life. Nonviolent Communication (NVC) is a process which has proven to be essential in the pursuit of this passion.

Since May 2000, she has attended over 714 workshop hours on the various aspects of Nonviolent Communication. Many of these hours have been with Marshall Rosenberg, who developed the NVC process. She’s a Certified Trainer with the Center for Nonviolent Communication.

When a friend asked me about my view of the differences between NVC and Buddhism, I told him that in my experience Buddhism tells me “what” and NVC tells me “how.”
