what I'd wish for a community is empathic capacity so that without blame we can explore the impacts of our behavior on each other. i have found nonviolent communication (NVC) is a useful tool and consciousness. restorative circles is an nvc application useful for dealing with conflicts. we could use more of both of these in our community but what we do have has been useful in my opinion. jerry pioneer valley cohousing MA On Sat, Sep 22, 2012 at 1:50 PM, Amy D <subcomandanteamy [at] gmail.com> wrote: > > It's both, for sure.
