Compassionate Communication (aka Nonviolent Communication or NVC) is based on the work of Marshall Rosenberg and the Center for Nonviolent Communication (www.cnvc.org).

The human soul hungers for the deep nourishment of understanding, connection and self-expression. And yet, most of us have been trained from birth to compare, judge, diagnose, lie, abdicate responsibility, blame, compete, control and demand. The domination system has outposts in our heads. Thinking and communicating in the above way is costly and ineffective, as it alienates us from our natural compassion and each other; conditions us into a subtle self-hatred that pervades our culture; has us deny our needs and our power to serve life; re-enforces our powerlessness and victimization; and often leads to misunderstanding, unnecessary conflict, and violence.

Why have we been trained in this way? Because the domination system works when people are kept ignorant, disconnected from our power, divided, at each others throats – compliant producer/consumer debt slaves in times of peace, and obedient cannon fodder in times of war.

Compassionate Communication (NVC) offers an alternative. One in which we can transform the judgment and criticism, the negative self talk, the denial of responsibility, and the attitude of demand that keeps us powerless and separate from yummy connection with others. An alternative in which we can:

♥ Heal the trauma and pain that keeps us stuck

♥ Develop more perspective on what triggers us emotionally, improving skills for responding rather than reacting when in conflict, using conflict to get closer to people

♥ Clarify what’s underneath our negative self-talk, helping us transform it into self-love

♥ Tell our truth in a way that is both compassionate and honest

♥ Increase our ability to build relationships based on compassion and mutual understanding

♥ Reclaim our power to be fully alive and responsible

♥ Create a world where we care for and respect one another, celebrating our differences

♥ Own the beautiful and sacred life energy that animates us.

NVC guides us in reframing how we hear others, how we express ourselves, and how we connect with ourselves. Instead of habitual, automatic reactions, our thinking, listening and speaking becomes firmly based in an awareness of what we are perceiving, feeling, needing and wanting. Using NVC, we focus the light of consciousness in these 4 areas to transform our judgment into compassion, discern our real responsibilities, reveal our humanity, connect our hearts, and celebrate our aliveness.

When this work is taken on sincerely and diligently, it can help us remember the “subtle, sneaky, important reason” we were born a human being – the unique gift to life that each of us is. It can help us connect with the divine energy that is our source. Powerful people can’t be bossed around. We don’t give away our power through compliance.

About me (Upgeya Pew): Having encountered the invisible repression of my own conditioning, and the nature of the culture doing that conditioning, during my involvement with the social movements of the 60’s, I’ve spent the last 40 years learning and freeing myself, and developing my capacity for understanding, awareness and love.

The last decade or so of those years I’ve been learning and teaching Compassionate Communication (NVC), because it’s fun – and the most powerful process I’ve discovered for transforming what I call “domination culture” into “partnership culture”. I’ve attended two 10-day residential intensives in NVC by the Center for Nonviolent Communication and Marshall Rosenberg, the developer of NVC, as well as many other workshops and trainings. My most powerful learning, however, has come by doing – by facilitating NVC trainings and practice groups for the last 10 or so years.

My passion is in creating partnership culture through transformation in consciousness.

Liam: "I recommend this workshop for anyone that plans on speaking with anyone else in the future. Really Good Stuff!"

Thursday

AC meeting today at 5:30pm PSU Smith Center cafeteria

Standing Up to PUBLIC INTEREST union busting. (+ Food Drive)

[improve]

Date: Thursday, December 15, 2011
Time: 12:00pm until 5:30pm
Location: OSPIRG office 1536 SE 11th Ave, Portland, Oregon
Jump to this event's wiki page, edit it, discuss it or return to the events page.

Purpose

On Thursday the 15th, come support the people that have been working in some cases their whole adult lives to guarantee a better life and better environment for all of us. There will be the singing of the new Christmas Carols, there will be signs and good times.

Our two demands are simple

. Hire back Kristopher Humbird.
. Give us the information that was promised in order for the Unions to move forward in negotiations.

Please invite your friends, their friends, and bring your voice.

The Fund for Public Interest, the parent company of Environment Oregon and OSPIRG, considered by many to be "progressive" organizations has a history of treating employees as disposable assets.

People that have devoted their working lives to progressive causes have been disrupted, discouraged and devalued as human beings. This has happened in spite of the fact that the groups under the Fund for Public Interest Research umbrella like OSPIRG and Environment Oregon fight for progressive causes like financial reform and clean air and water.

Let's make sure "progressive" applies to the all the workers it the organization.

When the Los Angeles Telephone Outreach Project and canvass worked to organize seven years ago, the Fund broke that union without a tear shed.

But then, in 2011, the Portland Telephone Outreach Project stepped up and worked to unionize their office. They won the vote 19-5 and that's when the second attempt by the Fund to break the spirits of their workers began.

The Fund is being naughty. They have not given us the information that was promised during contract negotiations, and they have began to fire those that stuck their neck out in order to form the union. This should not be accepted.

It is a food drive as well for all the union people that are out of work. So bring some non-perishable food with you. We would love to see you there.

If you have an idea or resources to contribute, or questions, let us know at velvetalove@gmail.com or fragle1207@gmail.com

Occupy Mega March and Rally -- Immigrants' Rights are Workers' Rights!

[improve]

Date: Saturday, December 17, 2011
Time: 10:00am until 1:00pm
Location: South Park Blocks, SW Park and Salmon
Jump to this event's wiki page, edit it, discuss it or return to the events page.

Purpose

D17- Somos el 99%

An Occupy endorsed event that aims to remove the legal and ethnic divisions that the 1% use to divide and conquer the 99%. We blame the recession on those who caused it, the most wealthy 1%.

Coinciding with the International Day of the Migrant, immigrants and allies will take to the streets in a permitted, family-friendly rally and march. This will be an opportunity to join with the Occupy movement, and send a strong message against the racist laws, policies and institutions that are systematically targeting immigrant communities, such as Secure Communities, E-verify, wage theft, free trade agreements and increased detentions and deportations.

We reject the scapegoating of immigrants in the same way we refuse to blame Muslims, the poor, public sector workers, women, and other victims of this recession.

The 1% want immigrants to have zero rights so that they are easily exploitable and can be paid slave wages, thus lowering the wages of all working people.

We demand

FULL RIGHTS FOR IMMIGRANTS. including the right to join unions

END DEPORTATIONS. Stop separating families and ruining lives!

JOBS FOR ALL

**Transcript of this document available here.**
This document is part of an expanding "paper trail" that "authorities" in Europe, United States and elsewhere will use to justify stepped up state repression on the Occupy Movement. Senate Bill 1867, the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which authorizes any American president still in office to send the military literally anywhere in the world -- including the "Homeland" -- to imprison civilians without charge or trial, gives increasingly fascistic and hyper-militarized "authorities" -- whether public or private-label -- the *legalistic excuses* they need to toss you into a torture dungeon and throw away the key.^[1]

March Against the National Defense Authorization Act!

[improve]

Date: Saturday, December 17, 2011
Time: 6:00pm until 10:00pm
Location: Director Park 815 SW Park Avenue (between Yamhill & Taylor), downtown Portland map
Jump to this event's wiki page, edit it, discuss it or return to the events page.

Purpose

JOIN US! at Director Park () @ 6pm to voice our LARGE concern over this Bill that has already passed the Senate.

AGENDA PLAN

Please come prepared and have your posters / signs with you that shows our opposition against the NDAA. We need more signs that contain words such as: NDAA, terrorist, battlefield, unconstitutional, indefinite detention, etc so that it's more obvious for people to see.

The Bill in short declares American soil a battlefield, not excluding its citizens (other than by Congress's "discretion") to be detained indefinitely without trial OR charge on the premise of "suspicion of terrorism"

McCain himself who birthed the Bill stated plainly to Sen. Ron Paul during a debate that "No matter who the individual, if they are posing a threat to the security of United States of America, they should not be allowed to continue that threat."

For further details on the bill please click the link to our FB event page: Citizens Against the National Defense Authorization Act (Facebook) Please join - http://www.facebook.com/Billion.against.Indefinite.detention
