Nonviolent Communication (NVC) has been described as a language of compassion, as a tool for positive social change, and as a spiritual practice. Its basic premise is that underlying all human actions are needs that people are seeking to meet, and that understanding and acknowledging these needs can create a shared basis for connection, cooperation, and more globally -- peace. NVC was developed by Dr. Marshall Rosenberg, who has introduced it to individuals and organizations world-wide. NVC has been used between warring tribes and in war-torn countries; in schools, prisons, corporations, social change, health care and government institutions; and in intimate personal relationships. Currently, over one hundred and eighty certified trainers around the world are teaching NVC in their communities.

After 18 years of teaching fitness to a wide variety of clients and then starting her own very successful business in Hawaii, Cathy Artukovich focused on learning and incorporating Nonviolent Communication in to her life. Cathy studied with Founder Marshall Rosenberg and a number of other International Trainers for many years and has become one of only two Certified Trainers in Nonviolent Communication in the State of Hawaii.

Ghandi says, "Let Peace Begin With Me". I believe that for me to be able to contribute to peace on our planet, I need to start at home, with me. Nonviolent Communication has given me the tools to do this - to connect to life in a way where I can honor and value my needs and the needs of others and then find peaceful, life-serving ways to get them met.
